Regional wage inequalities are only a small part of overall wage disparities - there more variation within local labour markets than between them. Ensuring more places can be at the cutting edge of the UK economy could shrink regional productivity gaps; but within-region

High-wage workers sort into high-wage places, explaining much of the pay gap between areas. There is a clear correlation between the productivity of the area and the earning power of the people there, especially in high productivity areas. Read more➡️ buff.ly/ycjN6KI

Previous research found that just 12% of differences in pay was due to place - with 59% about people. But using new methods, and new data, our latest research finds that place (34%) actually matters more than people (24%).

It is not just how much experience someone acquires that matters, but also where they acquire it. The enduring wage premium attached to time spent working in London suggests that early-career workers could benefit from gaining experience in there – and other larger cities in the

Agglomeration plays a role in explaining the UK’s regional wage differences - but a smaller one than you might think. Manchester and Birmingham punch below their weight when it comes to pay levels, with average pay being substantially lower than we might expect for cities with

The effects of place on regional earnings inequality is much larger than previous data suggested - roughly one-third of regional earnings inequality can be explained by place. Read the new research now ➡️ buff.ly/ycjN6KI

The productivity benefits that arise from cities taking advantage of their scale is known as the ‘agglomeration effect’. Agglomeration effects on pay are relatively small - though are slightly more important for graduates than non-graduates. Read more➡️ buff.ly/ycjN6KI

Differences in industry mix do little to explain pay gaps across areas. Instead, the main reason wages differ is because firms in certain places tend to pay more than firms in the same industry elsewhere. Four-fifths of the local earnings premium is caused by withinindustry pay

Occupational composition explains a greater share of the place effect than industry composition in different areas. This suggests that the way that jobs of different occupations are arranged unequally across the country is of more importance for regional wage differences than
