Note - the figures in question 3 are _gross_ income, before tax.
Also - if you earn more than £49k then tick the £49k box.
[Poll #1429637]
Those figures are the income percentiles for the fully employed UK workers, which you can get from here. If you're in the second group (£312 a week) then at least 10% of the population earn less than you, if you're in the third group then at least 20% of the population earns less than you. If you're in the first group then your life sucks.

Date: 2009-07-14 09:57 pm (UTC)In my experience the reason for people considering it bad to talk about money is their concern that people will find out how big the differences in income are.
I'm generally in favour of transparency in these things :->
