The jobs most likely to get a pay rise

An impressive two-thirds of UK employees received a pay rise last year.

However, it seems that some jobs are more accommodating than others.

According to research from recruitment consultancy Hays, half of workers were given a payrise of up to 2.5%, whilst another 20% were given even more. Hays have released their salary and recruitment trends report for 2015, which also indicates that certain jobs are more amenable to a wage increase.

A third of all bankers, construction workers and IT staff were given a sizable pay rise. Similarly, two-thirds of teachers and real estate agents had a wage increase of up to 2.5%.
