The Isle of Man has closed the gap on the United Kingdom when it comes to pay.
Figures in the latest Manx government survey show average earnings on the Island were 1.3 per cent below those in the UK in June last year, compared to 2.9 per cent in June 2009.
The average weekly wage for a worker in the Isle of Man is now £590.75.
Treasury Minister Anne Craine says there is good quality, diversified employment on the Island, although the figures are skewed by a high number of part-time workers:
Work underway to 'get confidence back in the economy'
Chief minister says concern over finances based on 'more sentiment than actual evidence'
Energy and food security "two most important things", says MHK
Douglas North's John Wannenburgh believes these are the two main components that will determine the Island's survival
Gatwick drop-off fee rises again

Isle of Man inflation holds steady at 2.8 percent in November
Food, hospitality and education costs continue to rise, while falls in energy prices help offset pressures
