More than 6 million jobs in Britain now pay less than the real Living Wage

Recommended Posts

The number of jobs that pay below the real Living Wage has hit 6.3 million, marking an increase of more than 300,000 on last year, figures show.

 

 

New official numbers released today show that there are now 2.9 million full time jobs and 3.37 million part-time roles that pay workers less than the real Living Wage.

 

This is the hourly rate a major organisation says workers should be earning, factoring in real term costs such as inflation. It's entirely separate to the Government's minimum wage.

 

The real Living Wage rate, set by the Living Wage Foundation, is currently £8.75 across the UK and £10.20 in London.

The rate is set to rise on the 5 November, the first day of Living Wage Week 2018.

In Redbridge, London, 12,000 of all working women in the area earn below the real Living Wage

:pepe:

 

The data also shows that there is a disproportionate number of women trapped in low-pay.

Currently 3.7 million or 28% of all female employees are paid below the recommended Living Wage.

 

The area with the highest percentage of women on low pay is Redbridge, London. A total of 12,000 of all working women in the area earn below the real Living Wage.

 

 

 

"An increasing number of people are struggling to keep their heads above water on wages that don't meet the basic costs and pressures of everyday life," explained Tess Lanning, director of the Living Wage Foundation.

"This rising problem of low pay means that it's more important than ever that major employers step up and commit to pay a real living wage, not just the government minimum."

Things seem to be getting worse and worse everywhere. With China and the USA fighting I doubt things will improve any sooner. OPEC is even trying to raise the oil prices. Who knows what tomorrow shall bring?
