Uncomfortably Off investigates the top 10% of income earners: those earning £60,000 and above. Despite their relative advantage and comfort, they worry about their income, are anxious about the future and don’t feel politically empowered.
The research explains why it is in their interest to pay attention to inequality and how that includes knowing where they stand relative to the rest of the country. Despite their perceptions, high earners do wield significant influence, both in their work, the public conversation and politically.
