And before someone mentions it, it is a myth that the latter has a positive impact on the former. If people aren't paid enough to sustain a sufficient standard of life, who gives a flying **** if the economy is improving for those in the middle and at the top?

when unemployment falls.....productivity rises, crime falls, tax revenues increase so more money to pay for public services, the government is then able to lower taxes on the lowest earners and take them out of tax totally.....there are also working tax credits available to lower earners....whilst in work people rise in pay over time, learn all the time, add more experience and skills all the time, including knowledge, social skills , confidence etc make social contacts speak to potential employers and find further opportunities.....its a win win win win.......work always defeat all opponents....this is why the tories won- JOBS
