Curated directly by the reviewer from the Eurostat Structure of Earnings Survey 2022 (dataset earn_ses22_48, mean monthly gross earnings, EUR, enterprises with 10 or more employees, total sex, 2022 vintage). Archetype: Managers (ISCO major group 1), the all-management-ranks pool in education (NACE P). MEDIAN-ONLY shape carrying a published MEAN: SES publishes no median here. The 2022 vintage predates current offers; Portuguese pay has risen since, so treat as a floor. SES monthly earnings exclude the customary extra payments (13th month and similar), so a full local package runs higher.
