Scope and Methodology

3. Datum Point The present basic monthly salaries (excluding any bonuses, but including commission) of surveyed job seekers as at 1 March 2019 were recorded, and adjustments of basic monthly salaries compared with 2018 were captured based on job seekers' declared adjustment. 4. Data Collection Method The survey was conducted in form of an online questionnaire. Job seekers were invited to fill in the questionnaire from 19 March to 15 April 2019. 5. Data Analysis Surveyed job seekers were required to provide data of their basic monthly salary as at 1 March 2019, recent salary adjustments, bonus, double pay, job status, job title, job function and industry of their company. The data was analyzed to determine the "arithmetic average" for salary adjustment and bonus received. To avoid extreme values, outliers with values of more than 3 standard deviations from the mean were excluded in the analysis. The analysis was conducted to identify differences that might exist in salary and bonus adjustments among the 28 job functions (Percentages of monthly salary adjustments in 2019 by position will only be shown if sufficient data is collected for calculation).
