BritChickx Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Nurses start on 21k. Is 26k the average? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Life on easy street Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Average wages is totally meaningless as it includes ALL workers’ wages divided by the number of workers. Senior workers in investment banks, footballers on x million pounds per year distort the average figure upwards. 21K is not bad pay for a starting wage What people earn before and after tax. If you are earning above 26k then 70% of the working population are earning less than you. These figures are two years old. https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/percentile-points-from-1-to-99-for-total-income-before-and-after-tax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VERYSTORMY Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Seems odd given tha national minimum wage gives a salary of over £15,000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Difficult to extrapolate anything without the terms of the survey though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simmo Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 some of those don't look right. Architects, Barristers , brickies.... unless the north is dragging the average down that much I would question the accuracy of this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
