Labour Market Realities: Growing Precarity for Housing Workers

As today’s labour market statistics yet again show record high levels of employment, it is worth remembering that being in work no longer brings about the financial security it once did.

As Kingsley Abrams highlights in our interview above, the rise of in-work poverty has been particularly acute over recent years. The most recent figures suggest that almost 60% of those living in poverty are non-pensioners in working households and this as should come as no real surprise – today’s ONS figures show that, in real terms, total average pay remains £33 lower a week than it was in February 2008.

As Kingsley notes with a salary of £15,000 to £17,000, “you have to pay your rent, you have to pay so many bills, it will affect you enormously… it will stress you.” CLASS research conducted earlier this year found that over half of all UK workers had noticed an increase in stress in their workplace over the past year. Stress is just one aspect of what some call the ‘precarization’ of work, where increasing insecurity is both subjectively and objectively felt by workers.

With precarious work afflicting an ever-greater number of workers, the shortcoming of today’s statistics is that they glaze over these issues and seem to be predicated on the assumption that transitioning into work is enough to absolve any financial woes people may have. The goal needs to change from ‘more jobs’ to ‘more and better jobs’.

  1. Its truly heartwarming to see that being in work is still the path to financial security, especially when the ONS kindly reminds us our pay is a paltry £33 less than eight years ago! Almost 60% of the working poor must just be terrible at managing their £15,000-to-£17,000 salaries, I guess. Who needs better jobs when you can stress about bills and rent on purpose? And those stress figures – CLASS research clearly proves workers are just imagining things, right? After all, the statistics are so perfect, they conveniently ignore the whole precarization thing. Maybe we should all just chill out, accept lower pay, and stop wanting better jobs. Its clearly not an issue!deltarune prophecy maker

  3. Oh, bless the ONS for their heartwarming reminder that our pay is only a paltry £33 less than 2008! It’s truly heartwarming to see such cheerful figures, especially when paired with the delightful news that over half our colleagues are stressfully managing salaries like £15k-£17k. Clearly, the solution is to praise lower pay and tell everyone they should chill out about rent and bills. Who needs better jobs when you can stress about them on purpose? The statistics are so perfect, they’ve conveniently glazed over the whole precarization thing – a truly insightful take! Let’s all just relax and embrace the joy of being slightly poorer, shall we? It’s clearly not an issue at all!Grow a garden tier list

  4. Oh, bless the article for its utterly heartwarming take! Praise be to the ONS for reminding us that a £33 annual pay cut is merely a paltry thing, especially when paired with the delightful joy of stressing over rent on a £15k-£17k wage. Its truly heartwarming to see such cheerful figures, confirming that if youre stressed, it must be because youre just terrible at managing your finances, rather than, you know, actual precarization. The statistics are so perfectly optimistic, conveniently ignoring the whole precarization thing and the fact that £15k-£17k salaries dont exactly buy a stress-free utopia. Maybe we *should* all just chill, accept our fate, and stop wanting better jobs – its clearly not an issue! 🙏💸speed stars 100m

  9. Wow, this is eye-opening! It’s crazy how even with record employment, so many people are struggling to make ends meet. “More and better jobs” is definitely the key!
