Workers across large parts of the UK would be 200 a week better off if wages had grown at levels seen before the 2008 global financial crisis, new analysis suggests.
Before the financial crash UK real weekly wages grew on average by 1.7 per cent each year. Since 2008, average annual growth has been 0.2 per cent.
TUC general secretary Paul Nowak said: Hard work should pay for everyone. But people are still worse off than in 2008 across the vast majority of Britain. And in every corner of the UK pay growth is way below historic trends.
