Residents income

Residents pay for 2018 has  increased by £40.60 a week to £557.90; Shropshire is now above the West Midlands average of £536.60. The Shropshire average has previously been lower, resulting in a closing of the resident pay gap between Shropshire and the West Midlands.

Residents pay is higher in Shropshire than workplace pay which indicates a net outward commute to gain higher rates of pay.

The Shropshire average remains lower than the Great Britain average (£571.10). Due to sampling sizes, this measure is likely to see a greater annual variance when compared to regional and national results.
