What's happened to the job market? This is for 3 days per week. Needs at least 4 years of experience.

The mind boggles.

So it seems the 'wage-price' spiral may not be a complete figment of political rhetoric; its just that its not #publicsector or the #lowpaid who are the one's receiving #inflation inducing pay rises... no, its the top 1% of earners who are actually the one's getting pay rises above inflation.

It makes further mockery of the notion that striking #NHS #workers & others are the greedy causes of inflation.

Blaming workers for this inflation is not analysis its #classwar
