    1. **Key Findings**

      * Males represented 50.6% of all employments active for at least 50 weeks in 2024, while females represented 49.4% of all employments.

      * Males accounted for almost three in every four employments (72.4%) with earnings in the top 1%.

      * Since 2019 the proportion of females among the top 1% of earners increased from 22.6% to 27.6% in 2024.

      * The Public Administration & Defence sector had the highest proportion of female employments (38.5%) among the top 1% of earners in 2024, followed by the Human Health & Social Work sector (38.2%).

      * In 2024, Accommodation & Food Services recorded the largest annual increase in the proportion of female employments in the top 1% of earners (+10.3 percentage points). In contrast, the proportion of female employments in Administrative & Support Services with earnings in the top 1% decreased by 2.3 percentage points since 2023.

      Who the hell cares about the top 1% of earners, honestly. It literally concerns only an insignificant sliver of the population. I do not care if rich women would like to get even richer, sorry

      I couldn’t find it in the link, but do they mention what one needs to earn to make it into the top 1%

      Edit: Found it here from a previous saved comment. Top 1% is earning from €200,000 and above. Source: https://www.reddit.com/r/irishpersonalfinance/s/ciCF8yQlBo

      Copy from u/Kier_C comment:
      I posted this a couple of weeks ago, seems like it makes sense here too. Here is a table of the breakdown of earnings in the working population (in the PAYE system). It is based on [revenue PAYE data for 2024](https://www.revenue.ie/en/corporate/documents/research/income-tax-overview-2024.pdf) (so it should be quite accurate).

      To explain the table slightly, the percentage of the population you fall into is based on earning the top of the salary range. So if you earn 10,000/year 80.5% of the population earn more than you. if you earn €200,000 you are in the top 1.6%, just 1.6% earn more.

      |Income From|Income To|# individuals|% of pop. earning more(at top of salary range)|
      |:-|:-|:-|:-|
      |0|€10000|660,000|80.5|
      |€10000|€20,000|490,000|66.0|
      |€20,000|€30,000|470,000|52.0|
      |€30,000|€40,000|490,000|37.5|
      |€40,000|€50,000|360,000|26.9|
      |€50,000|€60,000|240,000|19.8|
      |€60,000|€70,000|170,000|14.7|
      |€70,000|€80,000|120,000|11.2|
      |€80,000|€90,000|95,000|8.4|
      |€90,000|€100,000|60,000|6.6|
      |€100,000|€125,000|98,000|3.7|
      |€125,000|€150,000|35,000|2.7|
      |€150,000|€200,000|35,000|1.6|
      |€200,000|€250,000|25,000|0.9|
      |-|€250000+|30,000|0.0|

      Same report breaks down earnings by age

      |21 – 30|19%|28,300|
      |31 – 40|20%|49,000|
      |41 – 50|21%|58,500|
      |51 – 64|20%|55,300|
      |65+|13%|25,100|

      Am I reading it right that 93% of those who work in construction are earning a salary in the top 10%?

    5. Terrible_Biscotti_16 on

      It’s mad that I’ve a salary in the top 10% and don’t feel well off.

      How the hell are people managing on the mean or below.

    6. DunkettleInterchange on

      I genuinely don’t care what gender the 1% fucking us over is.

      It would be useful if they’d give you urban vs rural on this. The data for the cities other than Dublin is rolled in with large rural areas in most of these reports – frankly isn’t very useful to know what the average of any economic figure is for the entire southwest or Munster etc – most countries give you the major urban centres’ stats too.

      Is there an easy to access statistic that shows how women in their 20s and 30s are currently faring relative to their male counterparts? I just don’t see it reported as much as the above?

      In actual real life positions and not multi millionaires.

    9. thesquaredape on

      Genuine question, do we consider this a good or a bad thing?

    10. FrugalVerbage on

      Great. It was getting boring hating the same fellas all the time.

    11. Neither_Sail8869 on

      Does anyone know why the south West has a bigger percentage than the other parts?
      Thank you!
