Despite the increase in interest rates, the cost of living and energy prices, salaries in Scotland are not keeping up, with companies advertising stagnating salaries across the UK.
Analysis of more than 9.35 million jobs posted on Reed's website across the UK since 2018 shows that advertised salaries are sitting at pre-pandemic levels, with any rise over the past two years dropping back down to 2020 levels.
Salaries in Scotland are no exception, as they lag behind soaring living costs, much like the UK average.
