</p><p><strong>Technical notes to the table:</strong></p><p>This analysis was conducted
by HM Treasury based on data from the ONS’s Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings and
compares public and private sector earnings when including employer pension contributions.</p><p>
</p><p>The differential obtained shows the percentage hourly compensation from working
in the public sector above that of the private sector after accounting for differences
in composition between the two. To factor in these compositional differences, the
analysis accounts for differences in age, gender, job type (full- or part-time, permanent
or temporary), occupation category, region, and tenure.</p>
