Incomes have risen 'at a crawl' says think tank

Quick Summary:

Typical household incomes went up by just £140 a year on average in the last 14 years, according to the Resolution Foundation.

By contrast, disposable incomes rose 38% over the 14 years up to 2010, the poverty-focused think tank wrote.

The report entitled Hard Times was funded by the Nuffield Foundation, a charitable trust, and used data from the Department of Work and Pensions combined with jobs, pay and housing cost information.
