How to read this table
Comparing rows helps determine the share of the total payroll allocated to low-paid versus high-paid groups. Each row represents a percentage share of the total accrued amount, so the sum of all indicators in a column always totals 100 percent. This enables tracking changes in income concentration within organizations over a twelve-year period
What is visible in these numbers
