Notes
- The median gross weekly pay of employee jobs on adult rates whose pay was not affected by absence, in April, by where the employee lives. Half of jobs pay more and half less; a person with two jobs counts twice. The ONS's survey is a 1% sample of jobs, so a small council's median is less certain than a large one's, and the ONS leaves out any it judges unreliable (the Isles of Scilly).
- Northern Ireland's councils are not in the ONS's table: NISRA runs its own survey there. The latest year is provisional and revised with the next year's release.
