Average weekly earnings in Great Britain: April 2025
What's in the bulletin?
- For this release we have implemented revisions, on an exceptional basis, back to October 2020 to allow for late and updated returns we received from one business to be included and improve the quality of the estimates.
- At the whole economy level, these revisions are generally small and within the range we would expect to see during seasonal adjustment reviews; as the estimates are broken down below the whole economy level, the revisions become larger.
- Annual growth in employees' average earnings for regular earnings (excluding bonuses) was 5.9% and total earnings (including bonuses) was 5.6%.
