I’ve employed 11 people in the last 6 years by running @lourdessupport, creating jobs in Redditch and new careers for many of the team.
Wages in Redditch have increased 
35% since 2010. That's an extra £125.80 a week compared to 8 years ago. Earnings are still lagging behind the UK & West Midlands average, and more needs to be done to address this, but wages are moving in the right direction.pic.twitter.com/TfTrUsl5fy

Very good to hear. Being an employer is tough but very rewarding.

Average earnings in the UK are still £13 lower than they were a decade ago. Job insecurity is now "widespread", with 800,000 workers on zero-hours contracts with two thirds of children and working age adults in poverty belonging to working households. @redditchrebecca

I don't know anyone - ANYONE! - who has seen such an increase since 2010. Or are you just referring to your MP's salary ?

What do we need to do to address this issue as you suggest?

Not that impressive a statistic, UK inflation during the same period has increased by 21%. So in real terms not a huge difference. In addition wages decreased considerably after the bankers crash between 2008 and 2010 so in 2010 wages were already at very low point.Disappointing

She likes to omit that sort of information
