Calculation of earnings figures is changed

The government has replaced its New Earnings Survey with an Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings (ASHE).

This means the table below is constructed on a revised basis. It uses ASHE 2004 data for the base figures. These have been uprated by the increase in the Average Earnings Index (AEI) between April 2004 (when the ASHE figures were collected) and September (the latest AEI available).
