The highest paid UK jobs of 2016

New figures from the Office of National Statistics (ONS), courtesy of its Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings 2016, have found the ten jobs with the highest pay this year - The Guardian reports.

Using 2015/2016 pay-as-you-earn tax records, the ONS obtained a random sample of one per cent of all employees who work in each occupation – meaning bonuses are included, but those who are self-employed, or celebrities, are not.

Other anomalies, such as top-tier professional footballers or TV presenters, are not included.
