National Trends in Earnings

Using data from the Office of National Statistics Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings, the most recent being October 2016, and excluding self-employed workers or bonuses, the BBC has looked at income for various jobs. They used 'Gross annual pay' and 'Hourly pay, excluding overtime', and selected the median figure rather than the mean, as per ONS advice.

Overall, by May 2017, average weekly pay in the UK was 0.5% lower than the same time a year earlier, after inflation was taken into account. They said that privatisation, unionisation, skills shortages and supply and demand are major factors in determining how pay fluctuates.
