Reeve’s economic gamble. By pushing up the taxes disproportionately on low pay paying jobs; low productivity sectors are being squeezed out. The higher _average_ advertised wages is more likely due to a reduction in low paying jobs than in an increase in high paying jobs.
What is important now is:
– Can people re-skill quickly into the remaining “higher paid, high productivity” positions?
– Is there enough jobs for everyone who wantsneeds one?
– Are the jobs where people live OR all in London?
Doesn’t surprise me. ONS had the UK median salary full time at £38k last April.
We’ve had around 6% wage inflation since then.
And I’m sure there’s differences in advertised salaries vs overall average
Remove all the fake job adverts being used by recruiters to harvest CVs and I wonder what the average salary would be.
On average everyone on earth has almost one testicle
Is there a disconnect between average advertised salary and average salary?
I’d imagine those in a stable local government job are less likely to job hop and so on.
I really cannot believe the average salary is that high
“Advertised” salary!? Wtf. How is that relevant or in anyway reliable or meaningful. I could list a 50 jobs today.
Not sure what this means given that about 20% of job postings actually list a salary.
Would be interesting to see how they handled the job ads with “competitive” salary with no actual figure. From what I’ve seen, the majority don’t provide this, and they’re almost always minimum wage.
CEO and higher management positions must bring up the average.
I’ve seen accredited accountant positions for £23/24k FFS. How’s that reasonable?!
My workplace is advertising a production line role for up to £14.5/h
Realistically there is no chance of earning that because it includes every bonus and shift allowance. The real pay is always just slightly above the minimum.
Does that include the ‘up to £200k real estate agent’ salary that comes up no matter what job you search for?
Scroll on indeed and you’ll struggle to see something over 30k
Was that just the south? No where near that most salaries up north. Utter nonsense
I asked locally to try find a cleaner. They are all quoting £20 per hour which is £41,000 Per annum. My house remains a mess as I can’t afford to pay that much. If I didn’t have such crippling back pain I would change jobs!
“advertised” .. it’s like everyone is ignoring key words..
Most places advertise the high to mid ranges and almost never offer the higher end.
Living down south on 40k is basically poverty line. Rents in decent place are £1300 a month. Let’s put it this way after tax you take home £2600 with a student loan which most young people have. Your take home pay is 31k a year. 31k-12k rent or mortgage you’re left with 19k to do stuff with. Dam, I assume most people spend £500-£700 on food a month. Then if you add your car and bills council tax on this. Your salary is basically gone. Down south you’re living month to month on this wage. So lord help you if you if your partner doesn’t work basically.
Transparency would be ideal. Freedom of information request to HMRC?
How about we use the readily available (to the government) data that HMRC have on taxable earnings to work out the average wage? I.e not some bullshit recruitment CV harvesting figures to make the situation look less shit than it is
Would like to see the salary with London removed.
37, technician with several diplomas, never seen more than £32kpa in my life (and that includes overtime).
The average salary across most Nothern cities is *not* £41,000 – what nonsense is causing these figures?
This is probably because there are way more vacancies for higher level positions than entry level positions.
