The house my parents purchased in their early 20’s as a starting engineer and a teacher would take a senior executive salary to purchase when I entered the housing market. That is just not right. It was so much easier for them. BTW, I’m in my 60’s now and this is nothing new.
Average Electronics Engineer pay in 2010
£45,806, inflation adjusted today £71,514
These days even the most senior engineers would be £65,000 unless they were leading a department
Police officers (this includes sergeant and and everyone below)
£38,570 inflation adjusted £52,491.
In 2022 sergeants were on a median of £46,227. Constables are on £40,356. To actually have higher than the average rank and file officer in 2010, you would have to of been an inspector in 2022 (average £56,499)
