Sky News – Inflation at 30 year high
As Sky news reports “Inflation climbed to 5.4% last month, its highest rate since March 1992, as Britain’s cost of living squeeze intensified, official figures show.”
With the highest cost of living increases for 30 years, there is ever increasing pressure on wages, but how realistic is it for employers to continue to increase salaries whilst having their clients resist price / fee rises?
