Rising inflation, falling living standards and static pay fuel anxiety across all income bands, thinktank finds.
Inflation rose from 0.5% in June 2016 – the month of the referendum – to 3.1% in November. Wage growth has failed to keep pace, despite low unemployment, and was 2.3% in October.
Anxiety over future job and pay prospects has become entrenched among UK workers against a backdrop of falling living standards, Brexit uncertainty to a side.
This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. We think you might be referring to the London Living Wage, which is currently £10.20 an hour (and £8.75 an hour outside of London). The Living Wage is calculated independently and paid voluntarily by employers.
In contrast, the National Living Wage is a legal minimum that all employers have to pay to employees over 25 years of age. There is one rate (£7.50 per hour, set to rise to £7.83 in April 2018) for the whole country.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do. For example, you could start a petition asking the Government to increase the National Living Wage to more than £7.83 in April 2018.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
