I was reading the article below earlier and noticed it said a typical full time worker earns £2,340 a month (£28,000 a year) if that is the case i am well below that, how do your wages compare to the avarage?

If you work in the private sector, and pay tax through the pay-as-you-earn (PAYE) system, your employer can put you on furlough - essentially, lay you off temporarily - by applying for a government grant to pay 80% of your gross salary up to a limit of £2,500 per month.
The typical full-time worker is paid £585 a week, about £2,340 a month, using a median average - the middle point of all workers.
