UK Salary Survey

The Business Life 2007 Salary Survey for the UK was published in the October edition of the British Airways Business Life Magazine. It makes some interesting comparisons: UK Average Wage – £29,331 National Minimum Wage – £11,481 Premier League Footballer – £676,000 Chief of Defence – £219,834 Prime Minister – £188,849 Senior Retail Buyer – £50,000 Brand Manager – £36,428 Librarian – £24,606 Store Detective – £22,500 Gardener – £16,896 Farm Worker – £16,673 Baker – £16,187 Supermarket shelf fitter – £13,685 Waiter – £11,428 It’s interesting, that we as consumers often complain about frontline staff, but as businesses we rarely pay them an average wage.
