This dataset is available as machine-readable JSON — including provenance, columns, key figures and a verbatim sample of rows — and as a spreadsheet-ready CSV sample, for researchers, journalists and AI assistants. Every figure traces to the source below.
Methodology
Figures are the ONS-published median gross annual pay for full-time employees from the ASHE “Full-Time” sheet (Table 14.7a; regional medians from Table 15 (4).7a). ONS suppresses small/unreliable cells (CV > 20%) for disclosure control — those are excluded, never interpolated. Every figure is a real ONS estimate; none is averaged across occupations or estimated.
