Scottish workers have said £48,000 would be a 'comfortable' salary to live on 🏡
New research has found that Scottish workers feel they need £48,000 every year on average to live 'comfortably'.
The figure is far from the UK median annual pay of £33,000 for full-time employees in the tax year ending in April 2022, according to ONS figures. The research was carried out by recruitment business Reed who surveyed 5,000 UK workers with a range of questions on their salary and analysed job adverts.Ian Nicholas, global managing director at Reed, said: "It's clear that despite the jobs market remaining largely positive, the uncertainty and price shocks in food and fuel have created uncertainty for both businesses and employees.
He added: "Even though we aren't expecting a massive shake-up with salaries, which are likely to follow the current trends, we are still seeing a lot of movement – people are taking the risk and looking for a better-paying job and businesses looking to hire are able to put themselves forward to find fresh, new talent."
