WAGE growth in Britain has fallen back further amid mounting signs of a weakening jobs market, official data revealed today.

While earnings are outstripping inflation, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) said average regular wage growth dropped to 5.7 per cent in the three months to May.

This is down from 6 per cent in the previous three months and the lowest level since the quarter to September 2022.
