Interesting to compare legislated minimum wage with real living wage. In the UK the figures are £13.45 versus £14.10 per hour, a difference of £0.65 or 4.8%. London figures are £14.10 versus £15.45, a difference of £1.35 or 9.6%.

Interesting, too, that in the report Sam in Manchester has the word "Executive" in his job title, but apparently only receives the Real Living Wage.

FWIW, Canada has 14 different minimum wage rates as it's legislated by province, plus a national rate that applies only to employers under federal jurisdiction. In Ontario, the minimum wage is $17.95 per hour, but the living wage ranges from $21.05 (the other London) to $27.20 (Toronto). The difference thus ranges from 17.3% to a whopping 51.5%
