The UK junior job market, as a file you can use

Every junior, graduate, apprentice and entry-level role advertised on this board, counted by where it is, what field it is in, how it is contracted and who is hiring — with what those roles advertise in pay, and how many of them say anything about pay at all. 138 rows, rebuilt every morning, free to use with a credit.

The headline

47% of UK junior adverts state what they pay

This is the number the dataset exists for. Job boards publish salary averages; almost nobody publishes how much of the market refuses to give one. It is measured here the only honest way it can be — by counting the adverts that carry a figure against the adverts that do not, on a board that lists both.

Of 840 entry-level roles advertised in the UK today, 395 state a salary and 445 do not. The median of the ones that do is £32,000.

What is in it

Five ways the same board is counted

One row per slice. Each carries the number of roles, how many disclose pay, the disclosure rate, and the median and quartiles of the advertised annual salaries — plus the URL of the page on this site showing the roles the row was counted from, so any figure can be checked against the adverts behind it.

Methodology

How the figures are arrived at

Salary figures use the midpoint of each advertised annual range. Hourly and day rates count towards disclosure but not towards pay, because annualising them would invent a working week the advert never stated. Median, p25 and p75 are null below 20 priced listings, where the quartiles move by more than the figures they describe.

The board itself is entry-level only, so every row is a fact about junior hiring rather than a junior slice of a general board. A role advertised UK-wide counts towards the national rows and towards no single town, which is why the places add up to less than the board.

Figures change daily as adverts open and close. Quote the date on this page alongside the number, or link to it and let it stay current. The longer write-up lives on the salary reports.

840 junior roles on the board today
