Average labour income per employee job, by activity (Banguat employment matrix 2024, derived)

While INE's ENEI wage tables stay behind the wall, Banco de Guatemala's employment and income matrix (annual national accounts, 105 NAEG activities, 2013–2024) lets average labour income per job be derived: employee income ÷ employee jobs. For 2024 the economy-wide average is Q5,244 a month per employee job (Q3,654 in 2013). Among activities with at least 5,000 employees, the best paid are sugar milling (Q21,837), financial services (Q16,450), pharmaceuticals (Q12,910), public administration (Q12,523), head offices and consultancy (Q12,464), electricity (Q12,435), non-market hospitals (Q11,782) and telecommunications (Q11,489). The lowest are crops: pulses and oilseeds (Q506), cereals (Q573), coffee (Q883), other crops (Q1,314), fruit and nuts (Q1,359), forestry (Q1,381). The largest employers of wage jobs are retail and wholesale trade (598,325 jobs, Q6,534), households as employers (481,473, Q2,012), public administration (224,337, Q12,523) and vegetables (207,297, Q2,256). It is a national-accounts measure of income per job (in-kind income and part-time jobs included), not a survey wage; the full series by activity and year is in research/labour/banguat_ingreso_laboral_por_actividad.json.

The research is written in English; quoted figures, source names and the titles of legal instruments stay in the language their source published them in.
