| In the last two budgets, we played a major role in improving take-home pay for workers. |
| In return for moderate pay rises, take-home pay was increased through tax reductions. |
| It is estimated that the working poor are forced to pay half their take-home pay for rent. |
| Lower-income workers have also benefited from the Earned Income Tax Credit, which boosts their take-home pay. |
| Analysts credited last year's big rise, which few had predicted, to a strong growth in take-home pay, low unemployment and cheap borrowing costs. |
| We asked mothers to choose an income range within which their weekly household income fell, including take-home pay and benefits. |
