  5. ASHE headline estimates are:- Hourly earnings; Weekly earnings; and Annual earnings These are available for a variety of different groups. Examples of the groups reported on in the annual ASHE bulletin include:- Gender; Work-pattern; Industry sector; Occupation; Age; Public/Private Sector; and Sub-NI areas (Local Government Districts, NUTS3, Parliamentary Constituency) ASHE Earnings Estimates

Potential users include local communities, local authorities, government departments, health authorities, police and fire authorities, other agencies and voluntary bodies, professionals and commentators, as well as businesses and citizens. Demographic earnings are an important measure of social inequality. In Northern Ireland and GB, ASHE findings are utilised to report on this. Usage of NI ASHE Information
