Read from ILOSTAT directly, in the 2021 purchasing-power dollars the ILO itself publishes beside local currency and US dollars. A few figures that the ILO’s own other columns show to be mistaken — a wage filed in the wrong currency, a monthly figure divided by twelve twice — are left out rather than corrected.
