Introduction of minimum wage changed everything. Before, companies paid £6/hour, or as low as they considered they could get away with.

A job that pays minimum wage barely covers rent and council tax for many. And that's before you've paid for gas, electricity, water. Oh, and you're still butt-naked and haven't eaten yet!
