Using the industrial strategy to support higher performance and wages in the retail and hospitality sectors

Over several years JRF and others have argued that low-paid sectors such as retail and hospitality – which account for one in four private sector jobs – deserve a more prominent role in the Government’s industrial strategy if we are to create an economy that works for all.

Now the Government has acknowledged in its Industrial Strategy White Paper that these sectors have been overlooked and has committed to working with them to drive up earnings and productivity. This major conference will show how businesses, trade bodies, national and local government can make this goal a reality.
