UK Wages See Slowest Growth in Over 5 Years
New data from the ONS shows annual earnings growth in the UK has slowed to just 3.8%, the lowest rate in more than 5 years. Experts examine the factors behind this economic slowdown.
UK wages are seeing their slowest growth in more than five years, according to the latest figures from the Office for National Statistics (ONS). Annual earnings grew at a rate of just 3.8% in the November to January period, down from the previous quarter's 4.1% growth rate.
This marks the lowest level of pay growth since the summer of 2017, reflecting a broader economic slowdown in the UK as high inflation and rising interest rates put pressure on household budgets. Analysts say the figures suggest the labor market may be starting to cool after an extended period of strong growth.
