AROUND one in seven workers experience unstable earnings, a new analysis from the Resolution Foundation revealed today.
Erratic earnings were defined as having four or more months annually where earnings are at least 25 per cent above or below average income.
Using data from the HMRC, Resolution Foundation found that young workers are the most likely to receive erratic earnings, with one in four 20-24 year-olds impacted.
