I am not saying and I don’t think that Janet Daley was saying that ‘people leave
the lowest paid jobs to avoid welfare top ups’. On the contrary, they have no incentive to leave a low paid job and seek something better if they are likely to lose benefit payments. By the same token employers have no incentive to raise salaries in order to retain staff if the staff are unlikely to leave. Thus the overall effect of Universal Credit top ups is to depress wages, which in turn lowers the tax take. That at anyrate is my understanding.
