I know a great many who are on £10k less than that doing full time shift work, averages are just more statistical nonsense
Have the government force them into the careers that we have a shortage of. Simple innit, so simple in fact that I wonder why it hasn’t been done.

19.6k full time shift work doing what ? If it’s packing sandwiches in boxes in loftus thats not a bad salary for an easy job in a low cost of living area.

As with everything perspective is required.
