Data on employee earnings in the UK for 2022 has revealed the average weekly earnings for full time employees in England is £646, or an average £640 for full time employees across the United Kingdom.
The research calculates the median gross weekly earnings for full-time employees for each local authority by place of work, however, the data shows that all local authorities within Nottinghamshire are actually lower than the national average when it comes to the average weekly earnings of full time employees.
