Curated directly by the reviewer from ILOSTAT (International Labour Organization statistics), which republishes the Sri Lanka Labour Force Survey of the Department of Census and Statistics: median monthly earnings, total sex, 2024 annual, national currency (survey income from employment, pre-tax). Archetype: all employees in Construction (ISIC Rev.4 section F). Published MEDIAN stored as p50; the same series publishes a mean of 45,266 for 2024. No seniority split exists, so this is an all-seniority figure: treat it as a floor when quoting senior roles. The same series stood at 40,000 in 2022, so pay has kept moving.
