According to the survey, 6,225 persons make more than 10,000 Ghana cedis every month.
The top 10% earnings in the public sector make up 22% of all salaries received by the government, despite the fact that the sector’s highest compensation is 33,000 cedis.
The service also states that the average annual wage for employees in the public sector is 2,594.
80% of public sector employees make less than 3,000 GHC per year. Four out of every five employees—that is, 4—earn less than 3000GHC. On the other hand, if there are differences and your take-home pay is between $418 and 33,000 GHC, there is a disparity.
Professor Samuel Kobina Annim, a government statistician, disclosed this information at the publication of the 2022 report on earnings inequality in the public sector.
