§ Mr. Jim LesterSince separate figures for Dundee are not readily available, figures are shown for Tayside—including Dundee. The figures in the following table are based on the nearest equivalent age group and size categories which are readily available from the new earnings survey, the latest results of which relate to April 1979.
The table shows the percentage of employees with earnings in each size 436W range. Average earnings of those in each size range are not readily available, although in most cases the average is likely to be close to the mid-point of the range.
