Actually a result of structural forces hollowing out the lower and middle income brackets of the workforce and replacing them with automation, which is a worldwide phenomenon clearly visible in the relevant literature. Richard presumably hasn't read any of this since it's still 2009 in his world, but it's possibly the most important and urgent current economic trend - how do you sustain demand moving large numbers of people from secure, permanent employment to a low-wage, insecure workforce?  In particular, who pays the ballooning tax credit and housing benefit bill that results?

One interesting example that's just come out is the Civil Service, which has lost a huge number of low-level employees but managed to accumulate more mandarins...
