British workers take biggest drop in real wages of all G20 countries

Either your welfare pays really well or you forgot to include their wages in the average. Or there are a few at the top with really high paycheques.
Makes no difference to me BL, quite honestly, I couldn't give a flying fukk if you did look or not.
Fact is, Britain is experiencing a mass exodus of your professionals and skilled labor, in large part because of the crappy economy and bleak future in your nation

The AVERAGE wage in Britain is almost identical to that of Canada, as shown above.
As for unemployment benefits, Britain's are the third lowest in the OECD. Only those of Australia and New Zealand are lower. Even in the US "welfare" is higher than it is in the UK, but it's lower than in Canada, which is fairly generous.
Is it? Show me the figures. A higher proportion of Canadians than Britons live abroad.
A "crappy economy" that is outperforming yours and every other major Western economy (that's if you count Canada as a major economy)
Britain is a great place to live. I'd much rather live in Britain than in Canada.
If you take away the tax, Britain's average take-home pay is HIGHER than Canada's.

Sure Blackie, that's why British workers have taken the biggest drop in real wages in the G20... Because your economy is sooooo strong.
There' an old expression: You can polish a turd, but it will always be a piece of sh*t... Your economy is exactly this
You can pay a Brit worker a million dollars an hour, but if you tax them $999,999 each hour, they still only make poverty income.
Just like the Germans said all those years ago when they sunk the Hood with one single, solitary shot: "Diese Jungs Saugen"
It won't be anywhere near as bad as the brain drain that inflicted Canada in the 1990s when all your brightest and best went to the United States.
The increase or decrease in wages is only one small part of measuring an economy's health. In almost every other area - including all the major ones - Britain is outperforming Canada.
It doesn't say much for your economy, does it?
What's this thread all about? My reckoning is that it's merely just to deflect from the economic woes that Canada is currently suffering from, so you instead set up a thread to poke fun at an economy that is outpacing every other major economy.
Statistics from this year shows that Britain's average take-home pay is higher than Canada's.
Not which is true, of course.
It will be far worse for you.
It's an important one... It's not the fall that kills you Blackie, it's the abrupt stop
NorAm is chugging along just fine... Doing extremely well, thank'ee very much
Just like your punishing taxes... I'm surprised that you can afford those awful creations you refer to as 'food'
1 shot, 1 British flagship sunk.
The majority (43per cent) were planning to do this for the medium-long term (up to 5 years), while 11per cent predicted they would remain overseas for more than five years.
The top destinations emerged as New York (58per cent), Sydney (34per cent), L.A. (26per cent) Melbourne (23per cent), and Beijing (19per cent) while the top reasons for wanting to move abroad were better job prospects (47per cent), spiralling living costs in the UK (26per cent) or disillusionment with UK politics (21per cent).
Recent Government figures suggest that graduates contribute to the UK economy almost 10 times what it costs the state to educate them, in turn bringing in £180,000 more to the economy than those with A-levels over their working life.
This continued trend could therefore impede the UK’s fragile economic recovery
Yeah. We'll see.
"NorAm" isn't a country. And the fact is that Canada's economy is declining whilst Britain's powers ahead once more.
I don't believe that. The decrease in real wages isn't preventing Britain's economy from growing faster than every other major western economy.
Canadians pay an average of 42% of their income on taxes.
Britons only pay an average of 40.2% of their income on taxes.
That occurred only in your head.
This is a mountain out of a molehill. Like most Britons who move abroad, they'll soon be back.
That scaremongering comes from the very same people who said back in 2001 that Britain's economy would greatly suffer because it decided to not join the euro. As it turned out, the opposite occurred. I'll believe it when I see it.
There are all sorts of things which could impede a country's economic growth, and lots of them could occur at any moment.
But what does that $48 Grand get you in each country? That might be the
issue? Maybe a gallon of milk costs $5 in Canada & $8 in the UK, and with
other things....the purchasing power of the same amount of $$$$ in each
country is the issue?
I'd wager that the cost of living where I live is much lower than it is in Canada.
It's 42%.
Blackie doesn't want to look at the after-tax numbers.
I'm guessing that if we looked at the per capita income per demographic, the results would be even more depressing for the UK

I've already shown that, after tax, Britain's average wages are higher than Canada's.
As for "cost of living", Britain's cost of living is actually significantly lower than it's often portrayed in the media and on "statistics" websites.
True, but the bulldozers will be there soon to knock down all the tents and pallet-shacks.
I was just guessing. I pay about a $1.25 for a liter of milk, and about $14 for
a package of cigarettes, and about $1/liter for gasoline.
I pay about $100/month for insurance on my car, and about $400/month for
my utilities (power, energy, water-sewer, telephone, cell phone, internet and
cable TV), and about $28 or so for a dozen bottles of beer to take home.
I pay about $800/month for my mortgage & house insurance & property taxs
combined on my home, and that's off the top of my head to compare the cost
of living between one place and another.
Canada's homelessness problem is much worse than Britain's. And with the way your economy is going down the drain, it'll soon get worse.
Made in the shade.
We don't have people sleeping on the streets where I live...not until April.
Yeah, you'd have to chip them off the streets with a shovel & bar, of slope snow
around them to make a shallow hump so you could drive your vehicle over them.
