Poll: Are you feeling the benefits of the recovery?
The Government is claiming there are "positive signs" that take-home pay is starting to rise. Are you feeling the benefits of the economic recovery?
An analysis of take home pay figures circulated by the Treasury has suggested all but the top 10% of earners saw a rise in real earnings last year.
Overall people saw their take home pay rise by a third more than the rate of CPI inflation, currently 2%.
Prime Minister David Cameron told the BBC: "We are seeing some positive signs in terms of take home pay. But it's going to take time. We need to be patient and work through our economic plan so it's a recovery that lasts and benefits everyone."
Mr Cameron urged people to bear in mind that Britain was "recovering from the longest and deepest recession in living memory".
