It feels so unfair for this to be criticised when most of it is attempting to counter years of wage stagnation.
Edit: missed a word
And ofcourse the BBC wants to blame this for inflation again.
I’d love to know who’s getting these bumper pay rises and where they work so I can join them 😂
Wonder who’s bumping up the average? Certainly not the public sector. I thought we were ‘all in this together’.
In other words, wages decreased by 1.4% in real terms
Personally I’m not that shocked. Lots of people are job hoping and asking for raises, companies are giving raises in hopes of retaining staff. A couple of my friends have had decent rises and a few have moved jobs/gone self employed and increased income that way.
With millions of people getting thrown into a cost crisis and report after report of how you’re being shafted, yeah I don’t find this shocking at all.
The ones who will be missing out though is minimum wage jobs and public sector probs, they won’t be seeing rises of thousands a year as usual
I’m confused as to how this is anything more than an excuse to increase prices without basis when this is a drop in real terms and producer price inflation is falling rapidly.
