How Cork compares with the other counties
- Mean weekly earnings — Co. Cork: ranked 4th of 26 (€999).
A rank is a position among the counties on one measure, in the latest figures. It is not a verdict on how well an area is doing.
Before you use these figures
- Mean is pulled up by high earners: The mean can be pushed higher by a relatively small number of high earners in a county. The median weekly earnings figure is a better guide to what a typical worker in the county actually earns.
- Based on payroll (Revenue) records, not a survey: This figure comes from administrative payroll data reported to Revenue, not a labour-force survey. It covers PAYE-visible earnings and does not capture self-employment income the way a survey-based earnings measure would.
