Regular pay, which excludes bonuses, grew by nearly 8 compared to a year earlier. Lets talk to our Business Correspondent peter ruddick. We re seeing a rise in pay but how good is this news . It seems quite contradictory when you have a cost of living crisis going on, doesnt it . Wages are growing at a record rate, so that all suggest some good news, but they are still not keeping up with price increases, with inflation, and that is the key here. The last time wages were higher than inflation was back in october 2021. However, the gap has narrowed and narrow quite significantly. Regular pay, a record 7. 8 higherfrom april tojune than it was last year in that same period. Taking into account inflation, wages are only grown by no now. There is a point, possibly as soon as next month, when wages will start to keep up with inflation again. That is crucial notjust for the cost of living, but for the decisions that the Bank Of England is going to make as well.

That could be good news for the Bank Of Englands decision on Interest Rates because we talk about either are heating up or cooling Labour Market. There are signs that the Labour Market is cooling a bit, which suggest the Bank Of England might be minded to post their Interest Rate hiking cycle. But i think that wage growth will weigh on that decision. You will weigh on that decision. You will get fresh Inflation Numbers tomorrow, and then fresh inflation and wages numbers before that Bank Of England meeting next month. We dont know all the pieces of the Jigsaw Puzzle yet. But there are a couple of signs that the Labour Market is likely cooling. Now lets focus on something completely different, because celebrity Creative Directors are back in fashion and more companies are hiring famous faces to fill Executive Roles. We sent the bbc� s North America correspondent Michelle Fleury in new york to speak to one of them to find out whats driving this new trend. A warning her report contains some flash photography. When you get this dark, youve got to feel your way out. Dj khaled, the grammy Award Winning music mogul with the midas touch. His latest partnership with german streetwear brand snipes saw him open a Concept Store in his hometown, miami. Lets go shopping but hes notjust the brands hype man. Hes also its chief creative officer. A title he doesnt take lightly. Why are we seeing more celebrities in Executive Roles . I mean, you got to remember, you know, people throw that name on a celebrity, which is a blessing. And im very grateful for the world to call me a celebrity. But at the same time, as you know, were visionaries too. And i think its beautiful if you think about it. Its like levels and steps of your hard work, and then you get to a certain point and, boom, look at this. Khaled got hi
