It has been described as 'deeply concerning'
Workers in Nottingham earn £100 less than the national average every week, a situation labelled 'deeply concerning' by city leaders. The ONS data means, on average, people in the city are more than £5,000 worse off than their national counterparts every year.
Similarly, people in Mansfield earned £484 on average in a week, and those in Newark and Sherwood made £498.90. Donna Cumberlidge, Chief Officer at Citizens Advice Nottingham & District, explained that over the past financial year 8,800 clients had been assisted, a rise of ten percent.The organisation also had a 143 percent increase in advising clients about utility bills, an 80 percent increase in advice on debt, and a 49 percent increase in guidance on Universal Credit.
New figures released by the Trussell Trust reveal 172, 680 emergency food parcels were provided to people facing hardship in the East Midlands between April 2022 and March 2023, and 65,164 of these were provided for children. This is the most parcels food banks in the Trussell Trust network in East Midlands have ever distributed in a single year, representing a 34 percent increase compared to last year.
Regarding the ONS statistics showing Nottingham residents earned less than the national average last year, MP Lilian Greenwood, who represents Nottingham North, said: "It is deeply concerning to read the ONS findings that the weekly take home pay of residents in our city was below the national and Nottinghamshire averages in 2022.
"A Labour Government would deliver a fairer, greener, and more dynamic economy, creating jobs across the country in renewables, nuclear power and insulating our homes.” Similarly, MP Nadia Whittome, representing Nottingham East, stated: "This data underlines that people in Nottingham are at the sharp end of the cost-of-living crisis. With lower-than-average wages, many of the households I represent are struggling to cope with astronomical rises in prices and bills.
