A new nationwide index has used the amount of time a typical full-time employee has to work in any UK city to afford a Greggs sausage roll to reveal the areas hit hardest by the cost of living crisis.
The Greggs Sausage Roll Index is the first known use of " Sausage Roll-onomics" as a benchmark tool to compare living standards across Great Britain – using the latest hourly pay estimates provided by the Office of National Statistics (ONS).
It's been designed to expose the regional inequalities that persist despite the government’s flagship levelling-up agenda.
