Employment and median wage by occupation in the Ústecký

region for the period 2011-2015

key findings

Employment. The region experienced employment drop during the 2011-

2015 period. More jobs were eliminated in the private sector than in the

public sector.

Employment. 48% of employment is of managers (5%), professionals

(14%) and technicians (29%). The number of managers dropped by 13.3% -

in both sectors.

Employment. The number of private sector managers for every public sec-

tor manager (and similarly professionals, clerical employees and especially

plant, machine operators / assemblers) increased, while the number of pri-

vate sector technicians for every public sector technician (and similarly

craftsmen) declined.

Wages. Median wage grew for all occupational categories in both sectors,

except for public sector technicians and private sector managers whose

median pay decreased. Public sector clerical workers and private sector

craftsmen received the highest increase in pay of all occupational catego-

ries.

Wages. In two occupational areas, managers and clerical employees, pub-

lic sector workers earn higher median wage than private sector counter-

parts.

Wages. The gap between manager and professional pay was larger in the

public sector than in the private sector. The difference in professional and

technician median pay was larger in the private sector than in the public

sector.

Wages. Private sector clerical employees earn the lowest median wage

among all private sector occupational categories.

Wages. The pay gap between private and public sector plant, machine

operators / assemblers has narrowed and they earn almost equal median

wage.

Wages. In 2015, 28% of all compensations in the private sector were paid

to technicians (27% to private sector plant, machine operators / assem-

blers) and 44% of compensations in the public sector were paid to profes-

sionals.

report 5

Over the next months, the AmCham ad-

vocacy team, in cooperation with expert

members, will present a series of reports

of the Czech workforce, starting with a

national picture and working down into

detail about regions, cities, and econom-

ic sectors. The reports began with two

country studies: one on population

trends and economic activity by gender

and age, and the second on employment

according to size of enterprise and occu-

pation. The reports shifted to regions,

and finally, they will focus on economic

activity (including manufacturing, con-

struction, information & communication,

hospitality, and real estate). Only the

reports by sector and region will address

compensation, as national averages do

not reflect the high regional variation.

The material has been prepared for Am-

Cham members; our Councils and Best

Office Committees may make use of

some the data and conclusions for their

own activities. Contact Lucie Vrbova at

[email protected] for more infor-

mation.

Workforce in the Ústecký region: Em-

ployment by General Occupation, 2011

-2015

Generally, the region experienced employment

drop during the 2011-2015 period (-8,900 jobs)

and the shift from blue collar to white collar

jobs occurred in the sense that 5,700 manual

jobs compared with 3,200 non-manual jobs

were eliminated.

The only areas of growth were plant, machine

operators / assemblers (5.6%), clerical employ-

ees (2.5%) and technicians (0.2%) - in the pri-

vate sector, except for technicians. With the

share of 29% on the region’s total employment,

the number of technicians exceeds the number

of plant, machine operators / assemblers (25%

share). Although the number of craftsmen fell

by 22.6% between 2011 and 2015 - mainly in

the private sector, together with plant, machine

operators / assemblers they continue to make

over 40% of the region’s total workforce and

50% of the region’s private sector workforce.

Professionals and technicians make over 80% of

the region’s public sector workforce.

Technicians, professionals and managers total

48% of all employment, slightly down from

2011. The number of managers dropped by

1,400 positions (-13.3%) - in both sectors. The

number of professionals decreased by 7% -

mainly in the public sector.

More jobs were eliminated in the private sector

(6,900) than in the public sector (-2,000), but

the rate of drop was slightly faster in the public

sector. The ratio of private sector employees to

public sector employees rose from 4.59:1 to

4.66:1. Growth trends were not the same in the

private and public sector.

Workforce in the Ústecký region:

Wages by General Occupation, 2011-

2015

In the Ústecký region in 2011-2015, almost all

occupational categories in the public sector

experienced double digit growth ranging from

almost 9% to 15%, except for technicians (-

0.1%). Median wage growth in the private

sector in the period ranged from 7% to 11%,

except for managers (-0.3%).

Private sector craftsmen, whose numbers fell

sharply in the period, had the largest wage

increase.

Approximately 28% of compensations in the private sector and 37% of compensations in the public sector in 2015 were

paid to someone working in a technical occupation. Also, 27% share of private sector compensations were paid to plant,

machine operators / assemblers and 44% of compensations in the public sector were paid to professionals. Technicians in

the private and public sector and private sector professionals, plant, machine operators / assemblers and public sector

clerical employees were the only occupations to increase their slice of the wage pie during the period.

On the other side there were private sector craftsmen, whose share on the total private sector compensations dropped

from 21% to 18%, as the pay growth could not outweigh the drop in their number.
