Pay increased by 3% in July, study suggests
Pay increased by an average of 3% last month, although workers in northern cities enjoyed bigger rises, a study has found.
Firms in Leeds, Sheffield and Manchester paid the biggest wage rises in sectors including retail, legal and finance, said jobs site CV-Library.
Managing director Lee Biggins said: "The rise in salaries across the UK is a positive indication that businesses are pushing hard to attract the very best candidates and are not allowing pay to stagnate in the face of post-Brexit uncertainty.
Pay is increasing despite Brexit concerns, study suggests.
"For job hunters, it is reassuring that organisations are recognising the need to make the right offerings, particularly as competition for talent is rife."
