Commenting on the latest labour market statistics published today (Wednesday) by the Office for National Statistics, which show annual pay growth slowing to 2.4%, TUC General Secretary Frances O’Grady said:

“While it’s good news that employment continues to rise, the slowdown in pay growth is a real cause for concern.

“With living standards still not fully recovered, many families will be worse off this Christmas than they were before the recession.

“For the recovery to deliver for everyone, we need stronger growth in pay and productivity in 2016.”
