Low-paying jobs are leaving a record number working British families in poverty, according to a report from the Joseph Rowntree Foundation. According to the report, two-thirds of people who took jobs in the past year took them for less than the living wage.
The research shows that over the last decade, increasing numbers of pensioners have become comfortable, but at the same time incomes among the worst-off have dropped almost 10% in real terms.
Painting a picture of huge numbers trapped on low wages, the foundation said during the decade only a fifth of low-paid workers managed to move to better paid jobs.
The living wage is calculated at £7.85 an hour nationally, or £9.15 in London – much higher than the legally enforceable £6.50 minimum wage.
As many people from working families are now in poverty as from workless ones, partly due to a vast increase in insecure work on zero-hours contracts, or in part-time or low-paid self-employment.
Nearly 1.4 million people are on the controversial contracts that do not guarantee minimum hours, most of them in catering, accommodation, retail and administrative jobs. Meanwhile, the self-employed earn on average 13% less than they did five years ago, the foundation said.
Average wages for men working full time have dropped from £13.90 to £12.90 an hour in real terms between 2008 and 2013 and for women from £10.80 to £10.30.
Poverty wages have been exacerbated by the number of people reliant on private rented accommodation and unable to get social housing, the report said. Evictions of tenants by private landlords outstrip mortgage repossessions and are the most common cause of homelessness.
The report noted that price rises for food, energy and transport have far outstripped the accepted CPI inflation of 30% in the last decade.
Julia Unwin, chief executive of the foundation, said the report showed a real change in UK society over a relatively short period of time. “We are concerned that the economic recovery we face will still have so many people living in poverty. It is a risk, waste and cost we cannot afford: we will never reach our full economic potential with so many people struggling to make ends meet.
“A comprehensive strategy is needed to tackle poverty in the UK. It must tackle the root causes of poverty, such as low pay and the high cost of essentials.”
The root cause of poverty is the invasion, Julia. It is no more complicated than that.
You can talk all you want about unjust employment practices (and you may or may not have a point, morally), but if you hadn’t flooded the market with all of these millions of workers willing to work for nothing, plus run people out of their homes by paying all this government housing for subhumans, plus raised taxes to pay for the free everything of the subhumans, this wouldn’t be happening.
It is all plain and obvious. It is the elephant in the room. British people are starving so that they can afford to have the lands of their ancestors stripped from them by hostile invading forces the Jews have invited into their base then told them they were evil if they even asked what was happening.
