The Department of the Treasury has released a report which shows that wages growth slowed to 1.9 per cent in the year to June 2017. Meanwhile, real wages growth has been significantly lower over the last five years than in the previous decade. The figures also show that despite claims of growing income inequality, university graduates have experience lower growth in wages than people with no higher education since 2010. The report identifies a number of factors that have contributed to the low growth in wages over recent years.
