Official figures show that average pay across the economy increased by 2.9%, when comparing May to July with the same period in 2014. The Office for National Statistics said that was the fastest wage growth since the three months to January 2009. With inflation running at 0.1% in July – it has since fallen to zero – analysts say the resulting rise in real living standards should help to underpin consumer demand. At the same time it is noted that the unemployment rate remains unchanged at 5.5%.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>English: \u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.theguardian.com\u002Fmoney\u002F2015\u002Fsep\u002F16\u002Fuk-wages-rising-at-quickest-rate-in-six-years\">http:\u002F\u002Fwww.theguardian.com\u002Fmoney\u002F2015\u002Fsep\u002F16\u002Fuk-wages-rising … \u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.ons.gov.uk\u002Fons\u002Frel\u002Flms\u002Flabour-market-statistics\u002Fseptember-2015\u002Fstatistical-bulletin.html\">http:\u002F\u002Fwww.ons.gov.uk\u002Fons\u002Frel\u002Flms\u002Flabour-market-statistics\u002Fseptember-2015 … \u003C\u002Fa> \u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan class=\"discreet\">\u003Cspan color=\"#666666\" size=\"2\">For more information, please contact the editor Jan Cremers, Amsterdam Institute for Advanced Labour Studies (AIAS) \u003C\u002Fspan>\u003Ca href=\"mailto:cbn-aias@uva.nl\">\u003Cspan color=\"#0567d1\" size=\"2\">cbn-aias@uva.nl\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fa>\u003Cspan color=\"#666666\" size=\"2\"> or the communications officer at the ETUI, Mariya Nikolova \u003C\u002Fspan>\u003Ca href=\"mailto:mnikolova@etui.org\">\u003Cspan color=\"#0567d1\" size=\"2\">mnikolova@etui.org\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fa>\u003Cspan color=\"#666666\" size=\"2\">.
