英国政府暂停提高最低工资标准，为企业提供纾缓压力。此前，英国最低工资标准经历了一段快速增长期，已然成为发达国家中最高的工资标准之一。 The UK government is halting its increase of the minimum wage, providing relief to businesses after a period of rapid increases that have led to one of the highest wage floors in the rich world. 成人的时薪将上涨 9.8% 至 11.44 英镑，使约 300 万工人受益。 The hourly rate for adults will rise by 9.8% to £11.44, benefiting approximately three million workers. 然而，政府表示，到 2025 年，最低工资应根据收入中位数上涨。 However, the government has indicated that for 2025, the minimum wage should rise in line with median earnings.
