NI wages: Low paid jobs hits record low but still highest in UK

Typical weekly earnings in Northern Ireland increased by £8 over the year to £666 in April 2024, according to the Annual Survey of Hours and Earning by the Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency (NISRA).

That is an increase of 1.2% over the year to April 2024, once adjusted for inflation.

This comes after two years of decreases in real earnings – where inflation (the rate at which prices were rising) – was out pacing growth in earnings.

Northern Ireland experienced the joint lowest rise in weekly earnings over the year of the 12 UK regions, and is now the third lowest earning region, with London (£906) highest and the North East (£651) lowest.

Typical annual earnings for full-time employees in NI were £34,400 in 2024 – that is £3,000 lower than the UK figure of £37,400.

However, it depends where you work, earnings in the public sector once adjusted for inflation fell by 2.8% over the year, compared with an increase of 3.5% in the private sector.
