The bar chart illustrates average salaries for each of the eight UK cities.

Overall, there is a significant disparity not only in median wages but also in the number of surveyed people; they considerably vary by city. While London has the outstanding average salary, other cities reported much lower figures. However, most of the numbers fall within the comparable range.

Looking at the details, London recorded the highest average salary of 33,634 pounds, which is around 8,000 pounds more than the lowest rate reported by Birmingham (25,531 pounds). While the variance between England’s cities was especially noticeable, Scotland’s Glasgow and Edinburgh stated salaries of 26,150 and 27,592 pounds, respectively, showing a difference of 1,442 pounds.

Notably, the number of people in the London sample (50,951 individuals) was more than twice as many as all other numbers combined. Only 2180 people were surveyed in the city of Cambridge, although the average salary there (29,854 pounds sterling) was the second highest among the given rates.
