Perth and Kinross councillors have expressed concern over hardworking residents living in poverty due to low pay.
Figures from 2020/21 show 24,000 Perth and Kinross residents were in lower paid work with 13,000 (16.5 per cent of those employed) earning less than the Living Wage.
Councillors from across the political spectrum sought to tackle the "unacceptable" situation as they approved the latest Local Child Poverty Action Report at a meeting of Perth and Kinross Council on Wednesday, November 9.
