Mr. Austin Mitchell: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what assessment he has made of the impact on inflation curbs of the
trends in earnings of (a) blue collar and (b) white collar workers. [40212]
Mrs. Knight: Statistical data do not generally refer to employment as either blue or white collar work. Instead, this distinction is
usually made with reference to manual or non-manual work. Data from the 1996 "New Earnings Survey" is given below for manual and
non-manual workers. This survey covers a random 1 per cent. of all employees and, because of its sample size, is the most reliable
official source of detailed information on earnings.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________.
1995-96 Earnings growth Percentage of all employees
Manual 4.2 35.1
Non-Manual 4.2 64.9
_________________________________________________________________________________________________.
If we make the stylised assumption that employment costs comprise two thirds of final output costs, this suggests that growth in
manual workers' earnings contributed approximately one percentage point to retail costs, while earnings growth of non-manual workers
contributed about 1.8 percentage points.
