foreveryoung Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 Isn't this the time all the corporates including Supermarkets make super huge profits then decide to drop there prices slightly months later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markavfc40 Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 Martin Lewis makes a great point here: The bottom line is that at best the masses are still becoming increasingly worse off just not by quite as much as we have been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ender4 Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 Minimum wage increasing to £11.44. Thats around £22.5k annual salary. Will be catching up to average salary soon if wages don’t rise elsewhere as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still see some (smaller and smaller numbers, admittedly) grad schemes advertising 25k salaries when they were probably offering that 15 years ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the temptation increasingly not to just do something for minimum wage instead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could have a piece of piss warehouse job and get more than £25k without having to move your brain out of 1st gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulC Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 Increasing minimum wage is a good thing but the downside Is the impact it will have on small business. Surely the best thing wouid be to increase the threshold substantially by which you have to pay tax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can either do that, or pull pints in the slug and lettuce for the same money. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
