New @pbe.co.uk note on non-profit pay trends shows charity employees are earning £3,500 less today than if their pay rises had kept pace with the private sector's. Stems from inflation exposure and highlights the need for new 'shock absorbers' in the sector's income model pbe.co.uk/insights/pay...

Line chart showing inflation-adjusted change in hourly pay across the pay distribution in both the private sector and the non-profit sector. It covers the ten-year period from 2016 to 2025 and is drawn from a UK dataset. It shows that average pay grew by 10.2% in the private sector over the period, but fell by 1.2% in the non-profit sector. In both sectors, growth was strongest at the bottom end of the distribution and weakest at the top. But the non-profit sector under-performed the private sector at every point of the distribution.
