Andrew Hunter, co-founder of Adzuna, said: “Average advertised salaries continued to surge in January, outstripping inflation as they approach £41,000 – a record high since we started tracking the UK job market in 2016.
The report also noted a decline in salary transparency, with fewer UK employers disclosing pay details in job postings.
“Sectors including manufacturing, maintenance and retail are driving this trend, whilst Northern Ireland continues to be the fastest-growing region for salary growth across the UK.
This increase is driven by significant wage growth in sectors like manufacturing, maintenance, logistics, customer service, and domestic help, according to jobs site Adzuna.
“While trade and construction and administration roles remain strong, the gains we’ve seen in teaching in recent months appear to be levelling out, while the majority of sectors have seen notable drops.
