In early 2019, UK employers offered the sharpest pay hikes in a decade.
The latest official data indicates a 3.4% increase in British workers’ pay – the fastest pace in over 10 years. This stands in contrast with economic challenges related to Brexit.
Median annual wage deals for this month was at 2.8 percent, compared with awards of 2.0 percent in December, according to preliminary figures collected by pay data firm XpertHR.
UK unemployment is at its lowest rate since the mid-1970s. The Bank of England has said that it expects pay growth to increase, and is likely to increase interest rates gradually against labor market tightening.
