How can an average wage (if by that we mean a mean average) be only slightly above the minimum wage? That's a ridiculously low figure. I know the average can be reduced by taking into account young workers etc, but I was looking for a more meaningful average for a full time job done by an adult.
The average wage is set by the fact:
Only a few people earn over £100k
And lots of people earn £18.5k
That is how you get a low average (sad shameful fact for a western country).
