British workers suffered the biggest fall in their real pay for nearly nine years as a result of the rising cost of living, official figures show.
According to the latest data released by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) on April 12, regular pay excluding bonuses tumbled 1.8 percent in the three months to February 2022 when inflation is taken into account, as measured by the Consumer Prices Index (CPI). It was the steepest fall since August to October 2013.
