The average full-time worker in the UK was earning nearly £35,000 a year in April, official data shows, a rise of 5.8% on the previous year.

The size of that rise varies from job to job, with travel agents getting a pay bump of 21%, while sport coaches saw their earnings fall the most.

Despite the increases in pay, most workers' wages rose by less than inflation, the rate at which the cost of goods and services rise.

This means that in real terms, wages fell by 1.9% for full-time workers - a sign of the continued cost of living squeeze.

Use the lookup table below to see what the average pay is in your job group, how that has changed from the previous year, and whether a pay rise has topped inflation.

The salary data in the table above comes from the latest release from the Office for National Statistics (ONS), which covers the year to April 2023.

These are not the most up-to-date figures on the job market, but they provide a more granular view than the monthly labour statistics published by the ONS.

In this analysis, we used the gross annual pay for full-time workers for each occupation group. We're showing you the median wages, which is how much the middle-ranking employee earns.

To calculate the annual change in real terms, we adjusted April 2022 earnings to what they would have been in April 2023 if workers received pay rises in line with inflation, or more precisely, the Consumer Prices Index including owner occupiers' housing costs (CPIH). The difference between the recorded April 2023 wages and the inflation-adjusted estimates is the annual change in real terms.

For the job group titles, we used the latest ONS classification of occupations, which groups related jobs together. You can search for the group that fits your job best with .
