Abstract: Abstract Wage differentials in the British economy varied widely in pre-war years while the general level of wages remained fairly stable; since 1944, however, wage differentials generally narrowed while the general level of wages was constantly rising. The latter period is also characterized by the appearance of a wage slide, that is, of a considerable divergence between the behaviour of negotiated wage rates and of effective earnings.
