OVER the last five years more than 500,000 workers in Britain have fallen into working poverty, it was revealed this week in the UK Poverty 2018 report from the Joseph Rowntree Foundation.
It also showed that the number of people with a job but living below the breadline has risen faster than employment, further destroying the Tory myth that their policies make work pay.
Four million workers are now poverty in Tory Britain, meaning around one in eight in the economy are working poor, and eight million people live in poverty in families where at least one person is in work.
The JRF defines the poverty line as being when households earn less than 60 per cent of the median income, adjusted for the household’s type and size. In 2016-2017, the average median income for UK households after housing costs was £425 a week (£22,100 a year.)
