Speech Given By Mark Carney, Governor Of The Bank Of England At The 146th Annual Trades Union Congress, Liverpool 9 September 2014 - Rate Rises Can Be Expected To Be Gradual And Limited

President and Congress. 

It is a pleasure to be in Liverpool today to discuss the prospects for the UK labour market. 

The growth and distribution of jobs and incomes matter to everyone. Employment does much more than provide the means to support workers and their families; it is essential to personal fulfilment and human dignity. 

Part of that dignity is being paid a living wage.
