Statistics Jersey said the report was determined from earnings data collected from a large representative survey of employers and all Government of Jersey departments.
Chief statistician at Statistic Jersey, Ian Cope, said over the last 25 years real earnings had been essentially flat, meaning earnings and Retail Price Index (RPI) had increased by the same amounts over that 25-year period.
He said the new figures showed there was a faster increase in earnings than rise in prices.
This was the fourth year in which the survey was compulsory for employers to complete.
Matthew Gill, a statistician for Statistics Jersey, said, when looking back at figures going back to 2001, there had not been much a change in real-term earnings.
He said: “It’s not necessarily that people are earning less.
“With inflation going up, it is generally something that people will notice more.
“A lot of the inflation recently has been things like petrol, which people notice when topping up their cars and has an effect on deliveries for food and that type of thing.”
