Who are the highest wage earners in Israel? The study examines characteristics of workers in the top wage decile. The workers in the top decile of the labor market in Israel include those whose monthly gross salary exceeded NIS 20,380 in 2017 and 21,430 in 2018. Among the study’s findings are that the share of women in the top decile is only 27%, and, on average, they earn NIS 32,500 per month, as compared to NIS 36,300 for men, though they also work fewer hours. Education and experience have a critical effect on the likelihood of being in the top decile; 74% of the workers in the top decile have an academic education and their salaries peak after about 32 years of experience. Among non-Jews in the top decile, about 27% are self-employed, which is more than twice the rate for the first to eighth deciles. The effect of education and experience on one’s position within the top decile is negligible.
