    Hopefully and along with the increase in personal tax allowance also due in April many people will hopefully be better off, which will certainly help to keep up with rising costs of bills/food/fuel etc.

    I recently heard that one of the chaps in my wife's team at work got a bigger bonus than he did last year.

    Graduate pay will rise by 4% this year - the first increase since 2009, the Association of Graduate Recruiters (AGR) has estimated.

    The predicted rise will come after an "unprecedented period of stagnation" in pay, the AGR said.

    It's great to see that the economic situation is now so good that we can reward the young winners of the future!

    Rejoice!!

    The 4% rise will increase graduate pay to £26,000.

    And you appear to have missed the fact that the number of graduate vacancies is predicted to drop.
