How to read this Before inflation This is pay in pounds, before prices. Price rises include the cost of owning a home. Pay after those rises is its own figure.
An average, not your pay This is average pay per employee, not a typical pay rise. The mix of jobs can move it even when pay rates do not.
Employees in Great Britain only It covers employees in Great Britain. Self-employed people, the armed forces, government-supported trainees and Northern Ireland are not included. Live in Northern Ireland? SeeNorthern Ireland earnings
Compared with a year earlier Each figure compares the latest three months with the same three months a year before. Bonuses are left out.
