Below you will find details of the average salary as detailed in the ONS report for 2021 and 2020 with details of the percentage change in average salary and a supporting salary calculation so you can see what the take home pay for each occupation listed under "Caring, Leisure And Other Service Occupations" would be. Please note that some occupations may have no average salaries defined for specific years, this occurs when insufficient data is recorded via the survey or when occupations categories are redefined.
Average Salaries for 2020 (based on the Annual Survey for Hours and Earnings (ASHE) 2020) relate to the pay period that includes 22 April 2020, at which time approximately 8.8 million employees were furloughed under the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme (CJRS); the average salaries include furloughed employees and are based on actual payments made to the employee from company payrolls and the hours on which this pay was calculated, which in the case of furloughed employees are their usual hours.
Interpreting average salary data is difficult in 2021 due to how COVID-19 impacted the Average Weekly Earnings data. This means that comparisons with 2020 need to be treated with caution, and we encourage users to focus on long-term trends rather than year on year changes during the COVID 19 years.
