Statistics released today by the Office of
National Statistics show that the UK economy grew by 0.5 per
cent in the third quarter of 2011, boosted by growth in the
production and service sectors. This news may come as a
surprise given the latest
Take Home Pay Index figures released by VocaLink, which reveal
that annual real take home pay in the three months to September is
down across all VocaLink sectors compared with a year ago.
