Regarding the following publication: Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings (ASHE) - Estimates of earnings covering four-digit occupation by public and private sectors,
Do you hold information regarding estimated contribution to Gross Domestic Product (GDP) from public sector salaries for 'employees' and private sector salaries for 'employees'?
We said
Thank you for your request.
Unfortunately the requested information is not available from the ASHE survey however, within the National Accounts Blue Book we do publish estimates of income by sector, as part of our compensation of employees series. This can be broken down into wages and salaries.
Please see the following link to Table 1.7.2 of our National Accounts Blue Book: Blue Book Table 1.7.2.
The data you require can be calculated from the series provided within the table. Using the sector information, this can be summed to the level required for both the Wages and Salaries (D.11) and GDP (B.1g) series. These can then be used to provide the percentage share.
If you have any questions regarding this data or require any further assistance, please contact: savingratio@ons.gov.uk and they will be happy to assist.
