00:00Hello and welcome to Manchester World, my name's Theo Huston-Burton.

00:02Today I'm out on the streets of Manchester asking people about the National Living Wage.

00:06And that's because after last week's budget it's now set to go up,

00:10however not quite in line with inflation.

00:12Inflation is rising a bit quicker than the National Living Wages.

00:15We want to know if people think that's right, whether it should be closer tied to inflation,

00:19or whether people are just happy that they've seen a rise in wages.

00:22I do think that makes sense, because otherwise in the future as inflation continues to increase,

00:28the living wage is going to be increasingly disproportionate to it.

00:32I feel like as a guy, like me personally, it's my duty to just earn more money.

00:40Especially like I'm studying at uni at the moment and having to think about coming out and dealing with that.

00:47Yeah, as someone who's got like a full-time job on a salary it's still, you know, not easy anyway.

00:53So it's not just, you know, students that have issues, it's everyone.
