Total real pay growth was 0.1% in the three months to May. The Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) expect average earnings to grow faster than inflation in every year of the forecast.<p> </p><p>The employment rate is currently at a record high and the Government is taking action to support wages. Supported by the introduction of the National Living Wage, the lowest paid have seen their wages grow by 7% above inflation between April 2015 and April 2017.</p><p> </p><p>Boosting productivity is the only way to achieve sustained wage growth and higher living standards. That’s why in the Autumn Budget, the Chancellor announced that the National Productivity Investment Fund, introduced in 2016 to invest in housing, R&amp;D and infrastructure, would be extended and increased from £23bn to £31bn.</p> answering member constituency Salisbury answering member printed John Glen question first answered 26/07/2018 12:39:15 answering member 4051 label Biography information for John Glen
