London Workers Top UK Pay League

09 January 2009

London workers on an average £46,000 a year are top of the UK pay league, with employees in the North East at the bottom on an average £25,551, according to a GMB union report. The biggest earners are in the City of London financial district, where average pay is £82,000, more than two-and-a-half times the national average of £31,300. The top 50 areas reportedly included 27 London boroughs, Windsor and Maidenhead, Bracknell Forest, Wokingham, Bournemouth, Surrey, Slough and Aberdeen. Areas with the lowest-earning workers included Blaunau Gwent in South Wales, Inverclyde, Ceredigion, Blackpool, Rochdale and Oldham. Paul Kenny, GMB general secretary, said: "This analysis shows the regions and areas that did go some way to replace the skilled manufacturing jobs that were lost in the recessions in the 1980s and 1990s. "Since these figures were drawn up, the credit crunch - which originated from excesses in the financial sector - has given rise to a full blown recession. We will have to see if average pay holds up in 2009 in the face of this slowdown." Copyright © Press Association 2008
