Counting the cost

OK, let’s talk wages. What do you pay your staff? It was a topic that came up in the Widthwise discussion last week, and with news of wide-format print sector supplier Innotech having just been accredited a Living Wage Employer, I’m wondering if there’s much of a regional variation in who gets paid what. I’ve talked to various trade bodies over the years to see if it’s possible to do a proper large-scale study, but it’s always been too complicated - and too costly. Any ideas?
