Negative amounts have been set to zero. Figures for 2020 were corrected on September 2, 2022. Salary compensation for those who are temporarily laid off (¿lønnskompensasjon¿) was included twice in the calculation of total income, and thus figures for total income were about 7 billion NOK too high.
The Gini coefficient is a number between 0 and 1 that measures the degree of inequality in the distribution of income, where 0 corresponds with perfect equality and 1 corresponds with perfect inequality.
P90/P10 refers to the percintile ratio of the 9th and the 1st decile cut-offs. We cannot provide figures for the industries 'T Activities of household as employers', 'U Activities of extraterritorial organisations and bodies' and 'Z Unknown industry' due to few observations.
