Footnotes
- Average is the weighted mean based on published workers.
- The annual change in hourly wage, wage premium and annual change in hours worked indicators do not include Northern Ireland data, whereas the visa density and online job advert density indicators include data for the whole of the UK. This could disproportionately impact occupations which have a large proportion of workers in Northern Ireland.
- Proportions may not sum to 100% due to rounding.
- Worker volumes sourced from: Annual population survey Jul 2024 - Jun 2025 (opens in new tab)
- Median wages sourced from: 2025 provisional Earnings and hours worked, occupation by four-digit SOC: ASHE Table 14 - Office for National Statistics (ons.gov.uk) (opens in new tab)
- Proportion uses the UK 16+ working population as the denominator.
- Proportion uses the total workers in the respective demand level as the denominator.
