MN have been asked by the High Pay Centre to find out what you think about the current economic situation and the impact it has on living standards.

Please take a few minutes to complete this survey - it's open to all UK based Mumsnetters.

Everyone who completes the survey and adds their details at the end will be entered into a prize draw where one person will win £200 of Amazon vouchers.

Thanks and good luck

The average salaries are taken from proper sources - they are credited on the survey. And of course an average is only that - and top and bottom points can pull the average.

We've raised the issue of the averages on the last question with the HPC - and they are happy to point out "Most of the figures are from Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings so they are all official figures. Averages are simply that - ie they take account of the lowest as well as the highest and while we may be more aware of the ones at the top ie (a city lawyer or a top accountant) there are far more small business accountants and local solicitors. Also there is always the issue of that these are averages across the life course so it may be that you have far more newly qualified solicitors/accountants on £20k, than you do senior partner on £100k."

The PM salary is according to the House of Commons website but you're right as there is only one its not average : "The Prime Minister has announced that he will be taking a salary of £142,500"
