Economy is improving!

It's official! The economy is improving and incomes are up.

Anyone would think there is an election round the corner

I am bucking the trend then as my husband just had his overtime cut and my job has hit NMW because I haven't had a rise in 8 years.

The economy is doing better, not as well as they would have you believe, the reason is that fuel has gone down massively.
The government have allowed zero contracts, and people to work part time on less than a living wage, just to get them off the dole.

Re: Economy is improving!

Having sat down after my £4 PM pay increase and taking into account the rises in my bills im about £12 a month worse off than this time last year. Council has just awarded itself a 24% increase in allowances while implementing £40 000 000 extra cuts in services, unemployment is still the highest in the UK so im thinking lies lies lies.
