Driven by a high demand for skilled labour, Gauteng professionals tend to earn the best salaries, followed by the Western Cape and KwaZulu-Natal.
The CJI findings are based on actual salary offerings on the jobs portal over the past six months.
“All salaries provided in the report are average salaries, however, once you start looking at regional disparities, it becomes clear that professionals in Gauteng are higher earners than those in the Western Cape and KwaZulu-Natal,” Paul Byrne, MD of Career Junction said in a statement.
The best-paid employees are those working in the engineering, finance and ICT sectors, most of whom take home around R45 000 per month, while the lowest-paid entry- to mid-level professionals are people working in the fields of admin, office support, design, media and arts, manufacturing and assembly, and warehousing and logistics.
Starting salaries among some of the lower-paying professions begin from as low as R5 600 per month.
According to the index, the salaries of architects and artisans increased by 20% and 15% respectively over the review period, while the average person working in the construction planning and building sectors went up by 13%.
