Market and street traders and assistants: salary in the UK
ONS didn't publish salary figures for Market and street traders and assistants in 2026: too few full-time employees were in the survey sample for a reliable estimate. This is common for jobs where many people are self-employed, because the survey only covers employees.
The wider group Sales Related Occupations (SOC 712) has a median of £32,903 a year.
ONS did publish a mean of £33,086, which is less reliable than a median would be.
