"Figure 10: Median pay increased most in Wales and least in London","" "Percentage change on same month last year, seasonally adjusted, UK, September 2020","" "","" "Notes","1. The latest period is based on early data and therefore is more likely to be subject to slightly more significant revisions. 2. Percentage change has been calculated using unrounded figures. 3. The UK median is shown here for comparative purposes, but it does not represent an “average” of median pay growth across the regions. It is statistically possible, for example, for median pay growth for the UK as a whole to be higher or lower than pay growth in all constituent parts of the UK. 4. Changes in growth rates are affected by changes in the base period (a year ago) and changes in the latest period.
