35 occupations · 11 regions
Every page is a distribution, not a number. These are the UK occupations for which ONS publishes the complete percentile set — the survey suppresses distribution estimates where sampling variability is high, and we never estimate around a suppression. Figures are gross annual pay for full-time employee jobs, in pounds sterling. Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0.
