£9.50 Minimum Living Wage On The Way

Good news. The economy needs to realign to better serve those at the poorer end of the income spectrum.

The rises in minimum wage in recent years speak for themselves. Far higher than the annual rises we saw in the earlier part of the century.

I don't think any kind of realignment is on the cards, this will keep poorer peoples heads above water for now. Once everything is totted up, I would be surprised if low income families are not worse off and less able to plan financially than last year, and the cycle will continue until the country stops being content with being taken for a ride.
