UK wage growth failed to keep up with the rising cost of living between November and January, new figures show.
Pay rose, but when taking inflation into account, wages showed a 1.0% fall from a year earlier, said the Office for National Statistics (ONS).
It comes amid concerns that war in Ukraine will push up households' energy and food bills even further.
The new figures also show that the unemployment rate fell to 3.9%, while job vacancies hit another record high.
