Public sector graduate pay overtakes private sector

The Guardian

Thursday July 13, 2006

Students graduating this summer can for the first time expect to receive a higher starting salary in the public sector than in the private sector, according to new research.

Management consultancy Hay Group's latest First Rung: Graduate Pay Trends report, published this week, has found that the average graduate starting salary in the public sector will this year be £21,445 - 7% above the average private sector wage of £20,035. Only the oil industry, where starting salaries average £25,300, will offer graduates more.
