<p>The information requested falls within the responsibility of the UK Statistics
Authority. I have asked the Authority to reply.</p><p> </p><p>Dear Baroness Lister
of Burtersett,</p><p> </p><p>As National Statistician and Chief Executive of the UK
Statistics Authority, I am replying to your Parliamentary Question asking what proportion
of the (1) male, and (2) female working population earn £30,000 or over per annum
<strong>(HL12837)</strong>.</p><p> </p><p>The <em>Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings<strong>[1]</strong></em>
(ASHE), carried out in April each year, is the most comprehensive source of earnings
information in the United Kingdom. ASHE is used to produce estimates of the number
and proportion of employee jobs, which are defined as those held by employees and
not the self-employed. Please note that ASHE is based on a 1% sample of employee jobs
taken from HM Revenue and Customs' Pay As You Earn (PAYE) records. Consequently, individuals
with more than one job may appear in the sample more than once.</p><p> </p><p>The
estimate of the proportion of employee jobs earning £30,000 or more per year in April
2018[2] (the latest period for which ASHE estimates are available) in the UK is (1)
48.6% for males and (2) 24.4% for females. These estimates include both full-time
and part-time employee jobs, apprentices and are based upon employees that have been
in their current job for at least a year and are on an adult rate of pay.</p><p><strong>
