Dave Martin, the MD of AllTheTopBananas.com, said: ìThe salary index has shown there is a definite trend of average advertised salaries increasing across much of the UK. If, as some people predict, confidence in the UK economy cools in the first few months of 2008, it will be interesting to see how that affects advertised salaries.
ìThe index canít take into account the hundreds of variables that affect wages such as experience or availability of staff. But it is a fascinating way for anyone to compare their salary to the advertised average in their area.î
