Education Level Affects Current Pay Difference For Employees

There is always a big difference as to the qualifications of qualified employees and those with no formal qualifications. A lot of the people way back had really no interest in school and would rather work for money directly than earn a degree to get more money from those that have degrees are earning. Recently, statistics is showin that those employees with degree earned 85% mmore last year rather than those educated to around GCSE level but the gap has narrowed down. Before, the margin stood at 95% last 1993 and at that time, there fewer graduates according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS).

For every five graduates at the end of 2010, one earned less than the average for those that were A-level standard educated. A fall in the proportion of workers with no qualifications has been noted. When it was in 1993, 25% of those aged between 22 and 64 had no formal education and qualification unlike the 11% that is now in 2010 statistics. The change was due to the number of people aged over 50 in 1993 have not taken any exams when they were at school and most of them are now retired in the year 2010. In the same time period, the proportion of the same age bracket with a degree rose from 12% to 25%.

The latest ONS statistics on pay difference showed the narrowing of the comparison of those who completed higher educationshor of degree level with those with GCSEs or their equivalents. From 54% in 1993, those with higher education award are now earning 45% more than their less qualified counterparts this 2010. From the 18% in 1993, the A-levels or equivalent to their qualifications earned 15% more than those with GCSEs this 2010. The median averagae hourly pay for employees with GCSE level in the final 3 months of 2010 is now £8.68. Those with A-levels are now £10 an hour. The ones with higher education qualifications are now at £12.60 and now those with a minimum of a degree, the median pay is at £16.10 an hour. About £6.93 an hour for those with no qualifications and those with qualifications below C grade at GCSE are paid at £8.07. You can see how much education level plays its role on employee.
