In the U.K. what is the median of minimum wage?

Do you mean what is the minimum wage or what is the median of all wages? The minimum wage would be only one value not a median.

According to BBC reports:

The most authoritative data comes from the Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings 2012 by the Office for National Statistics.

It shows that median weekly earnings before tax were £506 in the year to April 2012. Men earned £546 a week, while women earned £449.

Median annual earnings were £26,500.

However, there was substantial variation across the UK. The highest median weekly earnings were in London, at £653. The lowest were in Wales, at £453.

@janbb I just assumed different cities had different minimum wages. So I wanted to know the median of all that combined. That’s all

@pleiades Aha – then it makes sense but I would be fairly sure that minimum wage in the UK is set nationally.

@ucme thanks for the charts.

I notice that the rates vary by age, which will help an older person forced into a lower paying job due to economic distress vs a younger person just starting out in the job market.
And that the rates have gone up each year, I assume because of inflation.
Interesting socialist concepts.
