The CSO figures reveal a stark gender pay gap: men earned a median of €770 weekly compared to women's €623, reflecting a more systemic issue in the workforce.
Even as the overall median weekly earnings rose by 4.2%, the gender pay disparity persists, with men's annual earnings at €47,187 overshadowing women's €39,039.
The analysis indicates that including part-time workers may partly explain the gender pay gap, as a higher proportion of women work fewer hours than men.
Notably, the highest median annual earnings were in the information and communications sector at €76,002 annually, contrasting sharply with the lowest in accommodation and food services.
