In 2024, the cost of work in the construction sector in the United Kingdom (UK) represented around **** percent of that industry's income. This measure, also known as labor share of income, has fallen significantly in 2022, 2023, and 2024. The relative cost of staff peaked in 2009, when it represented approximately **** percent of the construction income. Two key factors can affect these figures: the evolution of construction salaries in the UK and the overall income of the industry. In times of inflation, a decline in the labor share of income could signal that the cost of work has increased at a slower pace than construction prices.

The income group earning an annual salary of 100,000 British pounds and above had the highest percentage of investors. A correlation may be noted as the level of salary increases so too did the percentage of those investing.

The median annual earnings for full-time employees in the United Kingdom was just over 39,000 British pounds in 2025, compared with 37,400 pounds in the previous year. At the start of the provided time period, in 1999, the average full-time salary in the UK was 17,800 pounds per year, with median earnings exceeding 20,000 pounds per year in 2002, and 30,000 by 2019. Wages continue to grow faster than inflation in 2025 Between November 2021 and July 2023 inflation was higher than wage growth in the UK, with wages still outpacing inflation as of March 2025. At the peak of the recent wave of high inflation in October 2022, the CPI inflation rate reached a 41-year-high of 11.1 percent, wages were growing much slower at 6.1 percent. Since that peak, inflation remained persistently high for several months, only dropping below double figures in April 2023, when inflation was 8.7 percent, down from 10.1 percent in the previous month. For 2023 as a whole, the average annual rate of inflation was 7.3 percent but fell to 2.5 percent in 2024, but is forecast to increase to 3.2 percent in 2025. Highest and lowest-paid occupations As of 2023, the highest-paid occupation in the UK was that of Chief Executives and Senior Officials, who had an average weekly pay of approximately, 1,576 pounds. By contrast, the lowest-paid occupation that year was that of retail cashiers, and check-out operators, who earned approximately 383 pounds a week. For industry sectors as a whole, people who worked full-time in the electricity, gas, steam and air conditioning supply sector had the highest average earnings, at 955 pounds a week, compared with 505 pounds a week in the accommodation and food services sector, the lowest average earnings in 2023.

In 2025, the average annual full-time earnings for the top ten percent of earners in the United Kingdom was more than 76,900 British pounds, compared with 23,990 for the bottom ten percent of earners. As of this year, the average annual earnings for all full-time employees was over 39,000 pounds, up from 37,400 pounds in the previous year. Strong wage growth continues in 2025 As of February 2025, wages in the UK were growing by approximately 5.9 percent compared with the previous year, with this falling to 5.6 percent if bonus pay is included. When adjusted for inflation, regular pay without bonuses grew by 2.1 percent, with overall pay including bonus pay rising by 1.9 percent. While UK wages have now outpaced inflation for almost two years, there was a long period between 2021 and 2023 when high inflation in the UK was rising faster than wages, one of the leading reasons behind a severe cost of living crisis at the time. UK's gender pay gap falls in 2024 For several years, the difference between average hourly earnings for men and women has been falling, with the UK's gender pay gap dropping to 13.1 percent in 2024, down from 27.5 percent in 1997. When examined by specific industry sectors, however, the discrepancy between male and female earnings can be much starker. In the financial services sector, for example, the gender pay gap was almost 30 percent, with professional, scientific and technical professions also having a relatively high gender pay gap rate of 20 percent.

In September 2025, the top one percent of earners in the United Kingdom received an average pay of 16,212 British pounds per month, compared with the bottom ten percent of earners who earned around 855 pounds a month.

The UK has an ageing population. For the Residential Nursing Care industry, this is an opportunity for growth, with demand for more beds expanding. Homes have upped their average weekly fees, contributing to revenue growth. Soaring inflation over the two years through 2023-24 has further raised nursing home fees. However, state involvement has limited growth, which has kept care fees artificially low for many nursing home residents. Residential nursing care revenue is anticipated to climb at a compound annual rate of 2.9% over the five years through 2025-26 to £10.3 billion, including a forecast hike of 1.2% in 2025-26. Weak government funding and wage cost pressures caused by the rising National Living Wage (which climbed to £12.21 in April 2025) have constrained profitability. Labour supply shortages caused by high turnover rates have been of particular concern. According to Skills For Care, the job vacancy rate in 2023-24 in the adult care sector was 8.3%, far above the average rate in the UK economy. That being said, the vacancy rate is declining, mainly thanks to a government-driven recruitment drive to attract overseas workers, which has been helped by reducing visa requirements. Climbing real household disposable income has supported more self-funded residents, aiding residential nursing care. However, data from the Office for National Statistics reveals the percentage of self-funded residents fell from 36.7% in 2019-20 to 34.9% over the year through February 2022. Families were struggling with the rising cost of living, reducing the number of people able to afford private care home costs, which constrained revenue growth. In the year through February 2023, the number of self-funded residents at nursing care homes climbed to 37% of the 372,035 residents. In the two years through 2025-26, interest rates have fallen, stimulating spending on discretionary services like residential nursing homes. Real disposable income is inching up in line with wage costs, which is raising demand for self-funded residents and lifting care homes’ revenue. Over the five years through 2030-31, residential nursing care revenue is estimated to expand at a compound annual rate of 2.3% to £11.5 billion. Robust demand from an ageing population will support industry growth. However, plans for adult social care reforms are to be released in two stages (the first in 2026 and the second in 2028), which has caused greater uncertainty for the sector's future. Staff shortage concerns will continue to plague nursing care.

Information on farm household income and farm household composition. Source agency: Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Designation: National Statistics Language: English Alternative title: Farm Household Income and Household Composition, England If you require the datasets in a more accessible format, please contact fbs.queries@defra.gsi.gov.uk Background and guidance on the statistics Information on farm household income and farm household composition was collected in the Farm Business Survey (FBS) for England for the first time in 2004/05. Collection of household income data is restricted to the household of the principal farmer from each farm business. For practical reasons, data is not collected for the households of any other farmers and partners. Two-thirds of farm businesses have an input only from the principal farmer’s household (see table 5). However, details of household composition are collected for the households of all farmers and partners in the business, but not employed farm workers. Data on the income of farm households is used in conjunction with other economic information for the agricultural sector (e.g. farm business income) to help inform policy decisions and to help monitor and evaluate current policies relating to agriculture in the United Kingdom by Government. It also informs wider research into the economic performance of the agricultural industry. This release gives the main results from the income and composition of farm households and the off-farm activities of the farmer and their spouse (Including common law partners) sections of the FBS. These sections include information on the household income of the principal farmer’s household, off-farm income sources for the farmer and spouse and incomes of other members of their household and the number of working age and pensionable adults and children in each of the households on the farm (the information on household composition can be found in Appendix B). This release provides the main results from the 2013/14 FBS. The results are presented together with confidence intervals. Survey content and methodology The Farm Business Survey (FBS) is an annual survey providing information on the financial position and physical and economic performance of farm businesses in England. The sample of around 1,900 farm businesses covers all regions of England and all types of farming with the data being collected by face to face interview with the farmer. Results are weighted to represent the whole population of farm businesses that have at least 25 thousand Euros of standard output as recorded in the annual June Survey of Agriculture and Horticulture. In 2013 there were just over 58 thousand farm businesses meeting this criteria. Since 2009/10 a sub-sample of around 1,000 farms in the FBS has taken part in both the additional surveys on the income and composition of farm households and the off-farm activities of the farmer and their spouse. In previous years, the sub-sample had included over 1,600 farms. As such, caution should be taken when comparing to earlier years. The farms that responded to the additional survey on household incomes and off-farm activities of the farmer and spouse had similar characteristics to those farms in the main FBS in terms of farm type and geographical location. However, there is a smaller proportion of very large farms in the additional survey than in the main FBS. Full details of the characteristic of responding farms can be found at Appendix A of the notice. For further information about the Farm Business Survey please see: https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/department-for-environment-food-rural-affairs/series/farm-business-survey Data analysis The results from the FBS relate to farms which have a standard output of at least 25,000 Euros. Initial weights are applied to the FBS records based on the inverse sampling fraction for each design stratum (farm type by farm size). These weights are then adjusted (calibration weighting) so that they can produce unbiased estimators of a number of different target variables. Completion of the additional survey on household incomes and off-farm activities of the farmer and spouse was voluntary and a sample of around 1,000 farms was achieved. In order to take account of non-response, the results have been reweighted using a method that preserves marginal totals for populations according to farm type and farm size groups. As such, farm population totals for other classifications (e.g. regions) will not be in-line with results using the main FBS weights, nor will any results produced for variables derived from the rest of the FBS (e.g. farm business income). Accuracy and reliability of the results We show 95% confidence intervals against the results. These show the range of values that may apply to the figures. They mean that we are 95% confident that this range contains the true value. They are calculated as the standard errors (se) multiplied by 1.96 to give the 95% confidence interval. The standard errors only give an indication of the sampling error. They do not reflect any other sources of survey errors, such as non-response bias. For the Farm Business Survey, the confidence limits shown are appropriate for comparing groups within the same year only; they should not be used for comparing with previous years since they do not allow for the fact that many of the same farms will have contributed to the Farm Business Survey in both years.

Definitions Household income of the principal farmer Principal farmer’s household income has the following components: (1) The share of farm business income (FBI) (including income from farm diversification) attributable to the principal farmer and their spouse. (2) Principal farmer’s and spouse’s off farm income from employment and self-employment, investment income, pensions and social payments. (3) Income of other household members. The share of farm business income and all employment and self-employment incomes, investment income and pension income are recorded as gross of income tax payments and National Insurance contributions, but after pension contributions. In addition, no deduction is made for council tax. Household A household is defined as a single person or group of people living at the same address as their only or main residence, who either share one meal a day together or share the living accommodation. A household must contain at least one person who received drawings from the farm business or who took a share of the profit from the business. Drawings Drawings represent the monies which the farmer takes from the business for their own personal use. The percentage of total drawings going to each household is collected and is used to calculate the total share of farm business income for the principal farmer’s household. Mean Mean household income of individuals is the ”average”, found by adding up the weighted household incomes for each individual farm in the population for analysis and dividing the result by the corresponding weighted number of farms. In this report average is usually taken to refer to the mean. Percentiles These are the values which divide the population for analysis, when ranked by an output variable (e.g. household income or net worth), into 100 equal-sized groups. E.g. twenty five per cent of the population would have incomes below the 25th percentile. Median Median household income divides the population, when ranked by an output variable, into two equal sized groups. The median of the whole population is the same as the 50th percentile. The term is also used for the midpoint of the subsets of the income distribution Quartiles Quartiles are values which divide the population, when ranked by an output variable, into four equal-sized groups. The lowest quartile is the same as the 25th percentile. The divisions of a population split by quartiles are referred to as quarters in this publication. Quintiles Quintiles are values which divide the population, when ranked by an output variable, into five equal-sized groups. The divisions of a population split by quintiles are referred to as fifths in this publication. Assets Assets include milk and livestock quotas, as well as land, buildings (including the farm house), breeding livestock, and machinery and equipment. For tenanted farmers,

The cost-to-income ratio of the United Kingdom (UK)-headquartered Nationwide Building Society fluctuated overall between 2011 and 2024, peaking at 75.9 percent in 2020. After declining to its lowest point in 2023 at 41.9 percent during this period, by 2024 it slightly increased and stood at 51.9 percent.

In the fiscal year ending in December 2024, the Ocado Group generated **** million British pounds selling its advertising services. The services include selling Ocado's online store ad spaces to suppliers and other third parties. The income increased roughly 10 percent compared to the value reported for the fiscal year 2023. A success story Established in 2000, Ocado Group is one of the leading food and beverage online stores in the United Kingdom by e-commerce net sales. Despite being a purely online business, it also made it to the top 10 of UK grocery stores by market share. Additionally to its core business, the company offers automation and technology solutions for the online grocery retailing sector. Pandemic boosts online grocery sales in the UK In the United Kingdom, as in the rest of the world, lockdowns and stay-home advisories during the COVID-19 pandemic made online grocery shopping popular among shoppers. In 2024, the value of online food and grocery sales in the UK amounted to over ** billion British pounds. By 2025, the figure is expected to increase further to almost ** billion. In December 2023, the most popular grocery website in the UK based on desktop traffic share was Tesco's website. Tesco's visit share was more than ** percent. ASDA’s website ranked second with a ** percent share.

In 2023, Sky UK generated *** billion British pounds in advertising revenue. A year earlier, the figure stood at **** billion, which signifies a year-on-year decline of roughly five percent. Major players losing ad revenue An decrease of five percent is not a stellar performance, but other broadcasters have not been more lucky. The BBC, mostly funded by license fees, reported an advertising income decrease of around three percent in the fiscal year ending March 31, 2023. ITV saw an ad revenue decline of nine percent in the calendar year 2023. Its digital ad revenue, however, recorded double-digit growth. These figures highlight the challenges major broadcasters are facing in response to changing ad industry dynamics. TV advertising losing market share but not trust Traditional TV advertising spending in the UK reached a post-COVID-19 peak in 2022 at **** billion pounds and is projected to decrease by two percent annually until 2029. On the other hand, UK digital ad spend has not seen a single year of decline in its history. This highlights the ongoing shift in advertising budgets away from traditional TV towards digital platforms. Despite this trend, TV remains the most trusted advertising medium, according to the results of a recent survey. While brands are looking for digital exposure, TV advertising continues to hold sway over consumer trust and attention.

The statistic displays the annual sales revenue of Waitrose grocery stores in the United Kingdom (UK) from 2009 to 2025. In the financial year ending in 2025, Waitrose generated a total revenue of **** billion British pounds, their highest value recorded. The supermarket Waitrose is the ****** largest grocery retailer in the United Kingdom. Although it occupies a much smaller market share than the 'big four' supermarkets, it does, however, appeal primarily to those with a higher disposable income and thus has a reputation as being 'upmarket'. First founded in 1904 in West London, stores traditionally remained concentrated in the South of England until the mid-2000s. With headquarters in Berkshire, Waitrose is the food retail division of the John Lewis Partnership and operates a number of grocery and 'little Waitrose' convenience stores.

In the financial year of 2024, ending February 2, 2025, lululemon's net revenue from its U.S. and Canadian market segments amounted to approximately 6.48 billion and 1.41 billion U.S. dollars, respectively. Outside of North America, the company generated more than two and a half billion U.S. dollars that year. lululemon's sales channels In the fiscal year of 2024, lululemon generated over 10.5 billion U.S. dollars in net revenue worldwide, which is a momentous jump in sales compared to one year earlier. In the past, the Canadian apparel company generated the bulk of its sales through company-operated retail stores. During 2020's coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, however, about half of lululemon's total net revenue was made through its direct-to-consumer segment. Since that year, this business segment remained a large source of income for lululemon. lululemon's expansion The athletic apparel producer is a lifestyle brand targeted primarily toward active women promoting a healthy, balanced, and fun lifestyle. The company was founded in 1998 in Vancouver, British Columbia, and started as a yoga wear retailer. Since then, it has expanded to several other types of athletic wear, including shirts, shorts, lifestyle clothing, and yoga accessories. The company is said to have implemented a holistic guerrilla marketing model by making consumers feel as if they are part of a larger community when purchasing their products. This community has expanded considerably over the years, reaching several countries in Europe and Asia. The largest market by far, however, was the United States, which accounted for over 370 lululemon store locations in 2024.
