Notes
- The median gross annual pay of employee jobs on adult rates, full-time and part-time, held for more than a year, by the postcode of the workplace: not by where the employee lives, as in the ONS's table for Great Britain's constituencies, so the two are not compared. Half of jobs pay more and half less. The survey is a sample of jobs, so a constituency's median is less certain than Northern Ireland's, and NISRA leaves out a figure too small to be reliable.
