Wage Drop

Wages in the UK have seen one of the largest falls in the European Union during the economic downturn, according to official figures. Hourly wages have fallen 5.5% since mid-2010, adjusted for inflation, which is the fourth-worst decline in the 27-nation bloc. By contrast, German hourly wages rose by 2.7% over the same period. Where does this leave the UK Economy?
