Interesting graphs for household income squeeze and house values
BBC News: The Squeeze: Key Factors
Interesting data not usually seen together. I would have liked to see the Government spending figures in here as well over the last 10 years to compare to the unemployment figures. Also the house price and inflation graphs are good.

Strange that the graph "inflation over the last year" shows that the difference between the RPI (which includes mortgage costs) and the other indices has actually been decreasing over the last year, and the RPIX (which excludes mortgage costs) is now actually higher than the RPI.

An interesting set of data. I must congratulate the BBC. The one fact that becomes alarmingly clear is that the official massaged government inflation figures, are obviously imported from the far foggy recesses of fantasy land- the same zone of cuckoo land apparently inhabited by our fearless leaders much of the time. A pity all the official figures cannot be presented on a monthly basis (along with the various criteria frfom which they are derived) and without the element of spin that seems to surround anything the government has the least influence on. Adults are supposed to be able to make up their own minds on things- However since compound interest is no longer allowed on the school syllabus ,I fear for the future.

Compound interest is not allowed? Wtf? Why on earth not, it's fundamental?

Perhaps that's the point?
