## Methodology

London employers by the size of their reported median hourly gap, latest reporting year. Banded rather than drawn as a continuous distribution: the tail runs past ±100% and a handful of very small or very unusual employers would flatten everything else. Same London-by-postcode-area definition as the trend above.
