region for the period 2011-2015
key findings
Employment. The region experienced employment drop during the 2011-
2015 period. More jobs were eliminated in the private sector than in the
public sector.
Employment. 48% of employment is of managers (5%), professionals
(14%) and technicians (29%). The number of managers dropped by 13.3% -
in both sectors.
Employment. The number of private sector managers for every public sec-
tor manager (and similarly professionals, clerical employees and especially
plant, machine operators / assemblers) increased, while the number of pri-
vate sector technicians for every public sector technician (and similarly
craftsmen) declined.
Wages. Median wage grew for all occupational categories in both sectors,
except for public sector technicians and private sector managers whose
median pay decreased. Public sector clerical workers and private sector
craftsmen received the highest increase in pay of all occupational catego-
ries.
Wages. In two occupational areas, managers and clerical employees, pub-
lic sector workers earn higher median wage than private sector counter-
parts.
Wages. The gap between manager and professional pay was larger in the
public sector than in the private sector. The difference in professional and
technician median pay was larger in the private sector than in the public
sector.
Wages. Private sector clerical employees earn the lowest median wage
among all private sector occupational categories.
Wages. The pay gap between private and public sector plant, machine
operators / assemblers has narrowed and they earn almost equal median
wage.
Wages. In 2015, 28% of all compensations in the private sector were paid
to technicians (27% to private sector plant, machine operators / assem-
blers) and 44% of compensations in the public sector were paid to profes-
sionals.
report 5
Over the next months, the AmCham ad-
vocacy team, in cooperation with expert
members, will present a series of reports
of the Czech workforce, starting with a
national picture and working down into
detail about regions, cities, and econom-
ic sectors. The reports began with two
country studies: one on population
trends and economic activity by gender
and age, and the second on employment
according to size of enterprise and occu-
pation. The reports shifted to regions,
and finally, they will focus on economic
activity (including manufacturing, con-
struction, information & communication,
hospitality, and real estate). Only the
reports by sector and region will address
compensation, as national averages do
not reflect the high regional variation.
The material has been prepared for Am-
Cham members; our Councils and Best
Office Committees may make use of
some the data and conclusions for their
own activities. Contact Lucie Vrbova at
[email protected] for more infor-
mation.

ployment by General Occupation, 2011
-2015
Generally, the region experienced employment
drop during the 2011-2015 period (-8,900 jobs)
and the shift from blue collar to white collar
jobs occurred in the sense that 5,700 manual
jobs compared with 3,200 non-manual jobs
were eliminated.
The only areas of growth were plant, machine
operators / assemblers (5.6%), clerical employ-
ees (2.5%) and technicians (0.2%) - in the pri-
vate sector, except for technicians. With the
share of 29% on the region’s total employment,
the number of technicians exceeds the number
of plant, machine operators / assemblers (25%
share). Although the number of craftsmen fell
by 22.6% between 2011 and 2015 - mainly in
the private sector, together with plant, machine
operators / assemblers they continue to make
over 40% of the region’s total workforce and
50% of the region’s private sector workforce.
Professionals and technicians make over 80% of
the region’s public sector workforce.
Technicians, professionals and managers total
48% of all employment, slightly down from
2011. The number of managers dropped by
1,400 positions (-13.3%) - in both sectors. The
number of professionals decreased by 7% -
mainly in the public sector.
More jobs were eliminated in the private sector
(6,900) than in the public sector (-2,000), but
the rate of drop was slightly faster in the public
sector. The ratio of private sector employees to
public sector employees rose from 4.59:1 to
4.66:1. Growth trends were not the same in the
private and public sector.

Wages by General Occupation, 2011-
2015
In the Ústecký region in 2011-2015, almost all
occupational categories in the public sector
experienced double digit growth ranging from
almost 9% to 15%, except for technicians (-
0.1%). Median wage growth in the private
sector in the period ranged from 7% to 11%,
except for managers (-0.3%).
Private sector craftsmen, whose numbers fell
sharply in the period, had the largest wage
increase.
Approximately 28% of compensations in the private sector and 37% of compensations in the public sector in 2015 were
paid to someone working in a technical occupation. Also, 27% share of private sector compensations were paid to plant,
machine operators / assemblers and 44% of compensations in the public sector were paid to professionals. Technicians in
the private and public sector and private sector professionals, plant, machine operators / assemblers and public sector
clerical employees were the only occupations to increase their slice of the wage pie during the period.
On the other side there were private sector craftsmen, whose share on the total private sector compensations dropped
from 21% to 18%, as the pay growth could not outweigh the drop in their number.
