Putting their usual left/right spin on the same press release.
The BBC:
New research by the Institute for Fiscal Studies has found that one in five low-paid men aged 25 to 55 now work part-time.
While 95% of top-earning men normally work full-time, 20% of the lowest paid now work part-time. That means wage inequality for men has risen over two decades, but for women the opposite is the case.
City AM:
Inequality in net household incomes has declined over the last 20 years according to a new report from the Institute for Fiscal Studies – the second set of figures this week to reveal a narrowing gap between Brits at the top and bottom of the scale.
Published this morning, the IFS numbers record household incomes calculated after benefits and taxes, and reveal steadily falling inequality.
The key to this is the weasel wording in the seoond paragraph, "after benefits and taxes".
