HALF A MILLION children of public-sector workers will be living in poverty by April, sensational new figures reveal today.
The TUC research shows that the figure has shot up by a whopping 40 per cent since 2010 — and that Tory cuts to benefits and public-sector pay are to blame.
Families with both parents working in the public sector have lost out the most. Their average household income will be down around £83 a week in real terms by April 2018.
