Living Wage Week 2022

14-20 November is Living Wage Week.

If just a quarter of Welsh low-paid workers were given a pay rise to the real Living Wage, it could provide an extra £75.4m boost to the economy.   144,000 workers in Wales currently earn below the real Living Wage.     The real Living Wage is £10.90 across the UK and is the only the wage rate

10.1% increase in real Living Wage, the largest year-on-year rise   Over 390,000 Living Wage workers are set for a pay boost at over 11,000 Living Wage employers across the UK  Almost 500 Welsh employers are Living Wage accredited, meaning a pay boost for 18,600 Welsh workers   £10.6 million in extra wages has gone to low-paid

With UK inflation hitting double figures this month, reaching the highest level in four decades, everyone is feeling the pressure, but we know low-paid workers will be hit harder than most. As living costs soar, the movement for a real Living Wage is more important than ever.
