THERE was more confirmation yesterday that the Tory “recovery” isn’t being felt in people’s pockets.
The going rate for pay rises was “firmly stuck” at 2 per cent in the three months to June, with public-sector workers receiving even less, research by pay analysts XpertHR showed.
Details of more than 300 pay settlements, covering almost 2.5 million workers, found that half were worth between 1.5 and 2.5 per cent, while just one in six resulted in a rise of 3 per cent or more.
TUC general secretary Frances O’Grady said: “We need a stronger recovery, with higher productivity and more decent jobs.”
