Pay!

[andrewducker]

Looking for median pay information (average pay is interesting, but not nearly as interesting as knowing what percentage of people earn above/below a certain level), I ended up at the government's statistics site at the advice of cangetmad.

This lead me to the Annual Survey of Hours and Working. Table 1.7a is particularly interesting, because it tells you that overall I'm in the 75th percentile of UK earners, the 65th amongst men, the 68th amongst full-timers and the 62nd amongst full-time men.

I'd be interested to see further breakdowns by age (i.e. for a person aged 35, how am I doing?) and if I have the time I'd like to throw some graphs together with that data.

I'm impressed you found anything on that site...

Ooh fascinating. I'm in the 80th (ish) of full-time women. Yes, I think the age breakdowns would throw another set of patterns into the works.

figures only seem to go up to ... well, not enough - about 56K gross - where's the higher pay ranges????

It's a great website, isn't it? I first found it whilst doing my OU finance course, and it quickly became addictive. You can sign up for their notifications...
