Private pay is up 2.9 percent. Public pay is up 6.3. The people who generate the growth and most of the tax got half the rise. The people who add the friction, the forms and the delay got the bigger one. Vacancies are back to 2014 levels. The payrolls chart has been yellow for months. Yellow means people coming off company books. The bit that produces next to nothing paid itself more. The bit that produces for the country is shrinking. A country that champions failure and mediocracy and frowns upon success and winners. Typical Britain.
