If you do an unskilled job and haven’t done it for very long the chances are you earn the minimum wage or a few pence above it. Over 1,000,000 people in Britain are on the minimum wage so you are in the majority.

This may not make low income earners significantly wealthier but fair play to Mr Brown, at least it is rising by a worthwhile amount again. As long as it doesn’t slow company growth by a noticeable amount or cause job losses then this can only be a good move.
