In a modest yet positive sign for the United Kingdom’s labor market, the Average Earnings Index including Bonus has seen a small increase. According to the latest figures updated on September 16, 2025, the index climbed to 4.7% in July from a 4.6% reading in June of the same year.
This uptick, though minimal, suggests that employers are maintaining the trend of increasing wages despite ongoing economic challenges. The slight rise from the previous month indicates a resilient economy that continues to support wage growth, albeit at a cautious pace.
Amidst a backdrop of global economic uncertainties, this modest rise in average earnings could bolster consumer confidence across the UK, potentially fostering greater spending and further economic activity in the months to come.
