THE average advertised annual salary has topped £40,000 for the first time, new research suggests.
The increase from £37,577 over the past year follows continuing demand for skilled staff and hesitancy among employers around hiring, according to jobs site Adzuna.
Its study, however, added that just over half of employers did not include pay details in job adverts, adding that 2024 was also the worst year on record for salary transparency.
