An interesting, and apparently increasingly prevalent, case that you haven't yet factored in to your macro-economic analysis is those of us who don't have a job at all, and haven't had one for a year or more, despite looking for one.
I'm not one to quote spurious economic statistics, but the one I wouldn't quote is (forgive me if I'm being obvious here) -100%, in terms of minimum comparative, anticipated comparative, or indeed maximum comparative salary.
Under the circumstances, I find it hard to sympathise with either public or private workers who have their salary slashed by something truly evil like 10%.
I'm even beginning to find it difficult to sympathise with somebody who relies on these 90% wonders to prevent shit from shooting out of their faucets.
Well, that's just me. I'll feel better after the bailiff comes round tomorrow and collects my (nonexistent) assets in lieu of the Council Tax.
