Dave Martin, the MD of AllTheTopBananas.com said: "We have seen average salaries rise pretty consistently over the last few months.
"But it's hard to predict how it's going to go for the rest of the year, especially if the UK manages to talk itself into a recession. We'll be watching these figures closely to see if they give any clues away about the real economic state of the UK."
AllTheTopBananas.com publishes the salary index every month as part of its mission to be the UKs most helpful jobs website.
It has access to a huge amount of jobs data, as it gathers, collects and displays jobs from hundreds of partner websites across the UK.
