Good news, not good enough

The gap in salaries between men and women in the UK is at its lowest level ever. The gap has fallen to 12.6% from 13% in the past year. Good news but there is still quite a ways to go.

Some things however haven't improved. Average salaries increased by 3% over the same period but boardroom pay was up 28%. In the top 20% of the income scale the man / woman pay gap widened as the increase in men's pay at the top outstripped that of women.
