Earnings growth falls

Average earnings data shows a fall in growth in March. The rolling three-month average growth figure for wages in the whole economy was down to 3.2% from 3.5% in February.


TUC general secretary Frances O’Grady said: “Pay growth is stalling again. The last thing workers need is another hit in the pocket when real wages are still lower than a decade ago. The government must raise the minimum wage to £10 as quickly as possible.”
