Source: Office for National Statistics, labour market statistics. Average gross weekly earnings of full-time employees by region, published August 13, 2014.
Notes: gross weekly and hourly earnings data are known to be underestimated in the Labour Force Survey. This is principally because of proxy responses. Also, respondents whose hourly pay is £100 or over are excluded from the estimates. Full-time is based on respondents' self assessment. The estimates relate to an individual's main job only.
