So this wasn't true.

Tha average salary of OZ is around $100'000!

And I see you have moved to "Full-time adult earnings "

which is not the same as "average earnings"

Well, Zimbabweans are richer than Australians, they can earn billions

Dont try and twist it now

Average salary earnings are based on full time adult employees.

The average male wage (ordinary time earnings) in Australia is $73,850 per annum


The poorest wages are found in the accommodation and restaurant sector where full-time workers earn $49,785 on average.

A little more than Joe's statement that the the overall average wage is $40k

Average salary earnings are based on full time adult employees.

The average male wage (ordinary time earnings) in Australia is $73,850 per annum

So, by the way you calculate it, what is the average earnings in the UK?

Its also worth factoring the hours worked.

Here in the a GPs working hours are longer than almost anyother, which means almost all full-time GPs have live at home partners.

My mum has a 50% job share with another GP and still does more than 40hours a week. You dont get much hard work than from those who are self employied.

The average UK salary for males, as of June 2012 is £30'689

The average Australian salary for males equates to £47,492

But we are not talking about currency conversion, we are talking about the average salary in Australia, which is more than $40k pa.

 

[JohnD]

why won't you answer my question, which was about average earnings?

 

[snico]

why won't you answer my question, which was about average earnings?

The only person asking about 'average earnings' is you

I am talking about the average salary. But in answer to your question, the average 'earnings' per year as of April this year is £24,284

 

[JohnD]

and what is the equivalent figure for Oz, by your method?

where do your figures come from, and why are they so different from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_average_wage

 

[noseall]

The average wage in Oz is $40K so a doctor earns double the average wage.

In the UK the average wage is about £26K - so a GP earns well over 4 times the average wage at £120K.

Why is that? The cost of living is far higher in Oz too.

I have read that our doc's bang in loooong hours so their wage reflects this.

I would not bat an eye if a doc took home £120k if that doc is working 80 hours per week. I could probably get near to that amount if i doubled my hours.

Here is some of the (official) Oz data sought, cannot imagine why they would use 'Average' as in 'Mean' and not 'Median' given the skewed nature of earnings data.
Australian Bureau of Statistics, here :- http://tinyurl.com/84w78v4

Link :- Is the mean or median better to describe "average" income?

UK data :- http://tinyurl.com/cnwzt86 clearly uses 'Median' values.

Erm , The Docs I knew did 37.5 hrs per week or less...

Hospital Doctors are a different case to GPs..

That's junior doctors, the ones that kill people - not the money grabbing consultants.
