With the cost of living in the UK rising, many professionals are looking for opportunities that offer not only stability but competitive pay. According to the latest data from the Office for National Statistics (ONS), some sectors stand out due to high wages and labor shortages.
Chief executives and senior executives top the list, with an average annual salary of €84,131, representing a 140% gain compared to the national average. In second place, marketing, sales and advertising directors earn around 83,015 euros per year, 137% more than the national average salary. IT directors are also highly valued, earning an average of €80,000 per year, 128% above the national average.
Sites like Indeed, LinkedIn and TotalJobs are essential for those looking for these opportunities. In fact, it makes it easy to search for jobs across multiple sources, while LinkedIn not only lists jobs, but also connects professionals with recruiters. TotalJobs offers thousands of high paying opportunities and career advice.
In addition to substantial pay rises, ONS data shows a 5.8% increase in average wages in April 2023 compared to the previous year, which is higher than inflation. Workers aged 40 to 49 and those living in London benefit the most from these favorable wage trends.
