Q. which sectors nominal #wages are rising fastest?

so in the three months to June this is what (annualised) rises looked like:

#Retail - 7.7%

#Hospitality - 6.5%

#Manufacturing - - 8.2%

#construction - 5.8%

#health sector - 6.8% and

#financialservices - 9.4%

none of these (even the financial services) are enough to make up for the fall(s) in real wages over the last decade!

#inflation is coming from somewhere else.... might it be the 'maintenance' of #profits do you think?
