In the January-March period, urban employees' pay averaged 7,399 yuan (about $1,057), 875 yuan more than the same period last year.

The average pay in the finance sector topped the list with 16,048 yuan. The information technology sector came second with 13,972 yuan and scientific research, technology service and geological survey sectors ranked third with 11,604 yuan.

The construction industry was at the bottom of the list with 5,109 yuan on average.

Compared with the first quarter of 2008, pay growth in all sectors dropped. For instance, the growth rate in the finance sector was 19.9 percent in the first quarter of 2009, down 10.4 percentage points from a year earlier.

The NBS said urban employees in the statistics did not include workers in private companies and self-employed businessmen. The average salaries were calculated before taxes and included pension funds, medical insurance and legal reserves of housing acquisition.
