Interesting reading and I think we should all agree with it ;)

Window Cleaners the Second lowest paid Job :'(  only the Typists is lower than we are.

Sorry I stand to correct myself  Sports and fitness occupations are on the £12 grand mark.

Bet everyone feels sorry for their customers now poor old architects!

These are before they get taxed so a Pilot takes home about £700.00 a week  after paying 40% tax and NI.

Which just goes to show wealth can be a state of mind.

It's over-estimating what I earn, no doubt about it.

I presume that it must be averaged out across the country?
But agree way off....
£36k for a police officer (sargeant or lower) they're having a laugh. The joining salary is around £16/£17k round here and if you want to work every weekend and 12 hour shifts all the time you might just get to their figire

But aren't those 40k vehicles part of the business?  Maybe that's why their profits are so low.

The thing you need to look at is how many jobs are there where the pay is going down year on year. This may be in actual terms or just relative to the cost of living.

There are a lot of jobs where the skills are being devalued either by new technology, increased competition in the jobs market or the fact that everything now comes from China.
A friend of mine was made redundant last year. Skilled engineer, degree level qualifictions, top man in his field ( computer operated lathes ). Chances of getting another job zero. Hadn't had a pay increase for five years before being made redundant.
Thousands more like him. Many of us fall into that catagory.
