The only higher paid jobs were sales jobs with commission such as sales staff in kitchen showrooms.

Earlier he gave a more exact figure and said the first half of April sales are down 67% compared to previous years.

Why would the cost of living increases concern a lot of people?
Sure the rises in prices of food and energy will be terrifying to a sizeable group of people on very low incomes or relying on state benefits, and will be concerning to a larger group of people on low to middling incomes, but to a vast number of people those increases will be annoying rather than life changing.
That is about the most pompous lot of words that I have read for a long while. To 'a vast number of people, those increases will be annoying'?' They will probably not be life changing for me but they will, if they come to pass, be more than annoying. I can afford the extra costs, but I would much rather not bear them, instead of which, I may cut back on giving money to people who really need it.
