Scots have suffered a "devastating" fall in wages since the Conservatives came to power at Westminster, Labour has claimed.
The party said workers in some parts of the country have seen an average annual fall of almost £6,000 since 2010.
Data published by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) suggests real wages in Scotland have fallen by 2.3 per cent since 2010 when inflation is taken into account - meaning Scots have suffered an average drop in income of £779.
But Labour claimed regional variations mean there has been an average fall of £5,995 in Edinburgh South – a drop of 14.3 per cent
In Glasgow North West, wages are said to be £4,198 lower than in 2010, a drop of 11.2%, with a fall of £3,807 (9.8%) in Aberdeen South.
Labour shadow Scottish secretary Ian Murray: said: "This is a complete failure of the Government and shows the devastating impact on pay packets across Scotland.
"The Conservatives’ utter failure to grow the economy means that real wages are lower now than when they came to power.
"In my Edinburgh South constituency, salaries have fallen by over 14 per cent since 2010, resulting in a £6,000 real-terms pay cut.
"Disposable income has also suffered its largest fall on record as more and more is paid out in rent, mortgage repayments or bills, resulting in a cocktail of disaster for working people.”
Labour shadow chancellor Rachel Reeves said: "These figures don’t just underline a lack of growth under the Tories, they show the complete failure over 12 years to build an economy that actually works in the interests of working people."
