Estimated to be 750,000 people living in London who earn below the London Living Wage and there is evidence to suggest that a significant number of these Londoners have been stuck in low paid jobs for over a decade

Retail – 14%
Education – 13%
Health – 9%
Business administration & support services – 8%
