Re: What is a “good” salary?
^im sorry leg, but your not as well informed as you think. its been over 20k for years!!!
Workers in London are wealthier than their counterparts elsewhere in the uk, despite the higher cost of living, research shows today.
Research comparing salaries with the cost of living found that while Londoners take home 40% more than employees outside the capital - an average of £30,984 - their living costs are only 9.7% higher. This puts them top of the Wealth Index compiled by salary comparison website Payfinder.com. According to Payfinder the national average salary is £22,411 but in many regions workers earn less. Among those at the bottom of the pay scale were the east of England, Wales and the south-west. Employees in some of these regions suffered a double whammy of low salaries and a relatively high cost of living.
this was for 2005!!
