"Figure 13: Median pay increased most in the finance and insurance sector","" "Percentage change on same month in previous year, seasonally adjusted, UK, July 2022","" "","" "Notes","1. The latest period is based on early data and therefore is more likely to be subject to slightly more significant revisions. 2. The UK median is shown here for comparative purposes, but it does not represent an average of median pay growth across the regions. It is statistically possible, for example, for median pay growth for the UK as a whole to be higher or lower than pay growth in all constituent parts of the UK. 3. Changes in growth rates are affected by changes in the base period (a year ago) as well as changes in the latest period.
