Wages Vs Inflation

Data published today by the Office for National Statistics once again shows that earnings have not risen above the rate of inlfation for the 5th year running.

An interesting news story I am going to use as a starter/bell work with my GCSE class - lots of issues to generate debate such as:-

1. Difference between men/womens earnings

2. Part-time workers doing better than full time wokers

3. Farmers and Undertakers wages increasing by over 20%
