TMG Digital reports that staff recruitment agency Career Junction’s latest salary review shows that Gauteng still offers the best salaries to people employed in a number of professions.  

The review contains up-to-date salary information and regional differences in actual salary offerings for skilled and senior level candidates in the 10 most popular job sectors‚ including engineering, ICT and finance.  In the engineering field‚ salaries were considerably lower in the Western Cape than in KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) and Gauteng.  In ICT, there seemed to be only a small difference between Gauteng and the Western Cape, but salary offerings in KZN were notably lower.  In the financial sector, professionals in the Western Cape were offered between 18% and 26% less than in Gauteng, and those in KZN between 33% and 35% less.
