A Living Wage?

Research shows 19% of workers in Scotland were paid less than the Living Wage. 

The real Living Wage currently sits at £8.75 per hour outside London, where it is £10.20 per hour.

Jenny Stewart, Partner at KPMG in Scotland, said: “Scotland still has 435,000 workers paid below the Living Wage, and progress seems to have stalled with 19% of the workforce paid below the Living Wage compared to 18% last year...“If you’re one of the following – a part-time worker, or under the age of 21, or female – you are much more likely to be paid less than £8.75 per hour.”
