Done. A couple of the average salaries surprised me I admit.

Done, same here. Average salaries were an eye opener.

Average salaries are very misleading!

Done, but how could the ave salaries be wrong? Surely it is taken from official sources? Or just made up? Smile

Averages can seem 'wrong' because they take into account the lowest as well as the highest salaries.

Therefore the figures for lawyers and accountants - the ones that made me go Hmm the most - presumably also include all those right at the bottom of the scale as well, who earn about 3/6 when they first start out.

done - the salaries cant include bonuses and incentive schemes though can they? The estate agent must be on commission surely?

Done - but it would have been nice to have the ability to add comments to justify our views.

They're not wrong then - just averages are misleading. Perhaps modal figures would be better.

Report
MKP1 · 21/06/2012 11:17

Done...but really if you are asking people's opinions about salaries you should use a better (weighted maybe? or modal) average, or indicate the top and bottom centiles. You should say exactly how many people are included in that average, and you should also say the average salary in the UK.
