Notes
- The median gross weekly pay of employee jobs on adult rates whose pay was not affected by absence, full-time and part-time, in April, by the postcode of the workplace, as the ONS gives Great Britain's constituencies: the pay of jobs in the constituency, not of the people who live there. 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.
