"Figure 7: Median growth in real hourly earnings of all employees, and those continuously employed in the same job by age group, 2016 to 2017","" "UK","" "","" "Notes","1. All employees are those that identified in the 2016 and 2017 Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings (ASHE) samples. 2. The continuously employed are those in the same job for the last 12 months. 3. The data used in this analysis have been taken from the Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings (ASHE) between 1998 to 2017. 4. There are no longitudinal weights for the ASHE, so cross-sectional weights have been used instead. This means that sample attrition has not been fully accounted for and so estimates should be used with caution. 5. The ASHE dataset includes all employees that are paid either the full adult rate and trainee or junior rate, and has been adjusted for loss of pay (any individual who has had their earnings affected by absence has been dropped from this analysis). 6. The analysis uses individual level data from ASHE to calculate the growth of real hourly earnings for individuals observed in pairs of years. 7. Note that ASHE methodology is not specifically designed to model earnings growth for individuals over time. 8. Analysis includes both full-time and part-time workers. 9. The hourly earnings variable includes overtime."
