Wages were also commonly observed to rise with age, especially for occupations at the higher end. The link between age and earnings was less obvious for the lower skilled and blue-collar occupations whose wages rose slightly with age and peaked early in their thirties. These are some of the findings of the `Report on Wages in Singapore, 2007' published by the Ministry of Manpower's Research and Statistics Department. The 210-page Report provides information on salaries of over 300 occupations as well as wage changes and bonuses paid in various industries. It also includes information on the extent to which employers have restructured their wage systems. The key findings of this Report are summarised in the Annex. The department has also published the ‘Singapore Yearbook of Manpower Statistics, 2008'. This 185-page Yearbook provides a wide range of statistics on the labour market situation. These include key data on labour force, job vacancies, wages, labour turnover, hours worked, employment conditions, labour relations, retrenchments, workplace injuries, higher education and skills training. The information provided in these two publications can help job seekers, employers and employees make informed decisions on career and human resource matters. The publications also enable analysts to gain a better understanding of the Singapore labour market. The two annual statistical publications can be downloaded from the Ministry of Manpower's website.
