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 human health and social work activities (NACE Q). MEDIAN-ONLY shape carrying a published MEAN: SES publishes no median here.
