With medical staff, care workers, and education professionals out on the frontlines fighting to care for our families, friends and colleagues during the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, it’s hard to believe that many of our key workers are being paid below the national average salary.

However, new research released today reveals the daily wages of key workers, with some earning 25% less than the national average daily wage of £94.55 a day:

The key workers with wages below the national average can be found in the table below:

Job title	Median Daily Wage (post tax)	% Below National Average
Nursery nurses and assistants	£61.58	-25.37%
Care workers and home carers	£65.01	-20.04%
Senior care workers	£66.69	-17.42%
Educational support assistants	£67.56	-16.07%
Teaching assistants	£69.41	-13.19%
Nursing auxiliaries and assistants	£72.68	-8.11%

Though some key workers are being paid more than the average daily wage:

Nurses – £111.79 a day (post-tax)
Social workers – £117.45 a day (post-tax)
Primary and nursery education professionals – £131.21 a day (post-tax)
Medical practitioners – £167.72 a day (post-tax)

They’re still over £100 a day off being paid that of chief executives and senior officials in the UK – the highest paid job in the UK in 2020, being paid a whopping £247.11 a day.
