The December 2012 Quarterly Employment Survey found the average hourly earnings for ordinary-time work was $27.25, down 0.1 percent on the September 2012 quarter and up 2.6 percent over the year. The average ordinary-time wage was $25.17 in the private sector (down 0.4 percent in the quarter and up 2.6 percent in the year) and $34.70 in the public sector (up 0.9 percent in the quarter and 2.6 percent in the year). Female workers (at $25.16) earned 13.4 percent less than male workers (at $29.04) for ordinary time hourly earnings, a pay gap which has increased sharply from 12.9 percent a year before and 12.3 percent in December 2010. The pay gap was reduced from 13.9 percent in the previous (September) quarter, in part because the male average wage fell from $29.14 to $29.04 during the quarter.
