The real Living wage is calculated by looking at rising living costs across the country
Just under half a million workers on the real Living Wage are set for a pay increase of at least £1.10 an hour.
Research from the Living Wage Foundation showed that 60 per cent of those earning below the real Living Wage visited a food bank at least once in the past year while 39 per cent regularly skipped meals for financial reasons. The voluntary rate is an independently calculated wage based on rising living costs and applies to all workers over the age of 18.
Katherine Chapman, Living Wage Foundation Director, said: “As inflation eases, we cannot forget that low-paid workers remain at the sharp end of the cost of living crisis. Low-paid workers continue to struggle with stubbornly high prices because they spend a larger share of their budget on food and energy.
