schema:text	“Wages are rising at the fastest rate in a decade.” Rishi Sunak MP, 1 August 2019. Chief Secretary to the Treasury Rishi Sunak told BBC Breakfast last week that wages are growing at their fastest rate in a decade. This ignores inflation, which means it’s a bad measure to use. We’ve written about this before. The problem is that failing to adjust for inflation (the rise in how much things cost over time) can give a misleading impression of how these statistics reflect people’s lives. If you want a more meaningful idea of how wages are changing, you need to take into account how prices are changing at the same time. What you take home from work is only as useful as what it will buy you. That means it’s more helpful to look at what has happened to pay in “real terms”—meaning the numbers have been adjusted to account for inflation. In real terms, average weekly pay for employees in Great Britain grew 1.9% in the year to May 2019. While this is relatively high compared to much of the last decade, wages were growing faster for periods in 2015 and 2016, and briefly in 2010.
