Johannesburg is known as the economic hub of South Africa, and with the title comes the reputation of paying more to employees than any other major city in the country.<\/p>\n

Nationwide salary reviews have shown that jobs in Gauteng pay much higher than national average, the reason: consumer prices, utilities, restaurant prices, groceries, and even petrol in some cases is more expensive.<\/span><\/p>\n

Jobs portal CareerJunction<\/a><\/strong> has released its latest salary review for 2018, showing how much companies are offering to acquire skills in thousands of jobs – including the regional variations between South Africa’s three major economic areas.<\/p>\n

In line with its reputation, Gauteng salaries are the highest on average nationally in almost every job category, with Capetonians generally getting paid higher than employees in KwaZulu Natal.<\/p>\n

The two fields where this is reversed, however, is in warehousing and logistics, and manufacturing and assembly.<\/p>\n

According to CareerJunction’s data, warehousing and logistic salaries are between 5% and 8% higher (6.5% on average) than the national average in the Western Cape, while only between 5% and 6% higher (5.5% average) in Gauteng.<\/p>\n

In the field of manufacturing and assembly, the difference is even greater, with the Western Cape’s average salary being 2% to 8% higher (5% on average) than the national value, while Gauteng’s is between 2% and 4% higher (3% on average).<\/p>\n

In ICT, Gauteng and the Western Cape are evenly matched (averaging 11% higher) – while Gauteng dominates the rest.<\/p>\n
