[UK] Leeds pays the highest regional salaries outside London

In the UK, a study of postcode areas with the highest advertised salaries has revealed that Leeds is the top-paying region outside London, LeedsLive reports.

Other cities with top ten placed salaries include Cambridge, Bristol and Manchester, according to the analysis by jobs site Adzuna. 

Its research reportedly considered more than one million jobs and found average advertised pay in Leeds is around £37,800, with 36,000 vacancies in the city in October.

Companies including Asda, First Direct, Yorkshire Bank, Centrica, Evri and Direct Line are based in Leeds and broadcaster Channel 4 has set up its UK HQ there.

The Yorkshire city beats Cambridge to the top spot - the 'Silicon Fen' city where advertised salaries average £37,692 - as well as engineering, tech and finance hub Bristol (£37,281) and Manchester (£36,690).

East central London - location of the Square Mile - is the highest-paid UK postcode area. Its advertised salaries topped an average of £56,497.

The lowest-paid postcode area, by contrast, is reportedly in the Outer Hebrides where average advertised salaries are £17,428, followed by Telford (£24,723) and Lerwick in Shetland (£26,624), according to the report.

Two South West cities Torquay and Dorchester were also among the 10 lowest-paid postcodes.

Andrew Hunter - co-founder of Adzuna - said, “Jobseeking doesn’t need to be a postcode lottery. Those looking for lucrative work could start by searching in postcode areas with higher average pay cheques and our data shows areas like Leeds and Manchester are great options.

“It can pay to look a little further afield when considering a new role, even if you don’t want to move location. For remote workers, focusing the job search on areas at the top of the salary charts could help you bag a pay rise, while considering a commute could mean a salary lift for those working in the office.”
