The Office for National Statistics (ONS) said earnings, excluding the effects of bonuses, rose by 3.6% on an annual basis in the three months to May – beating the forecasts of economists.
When bonuses were included, the percentage figure rose to 3.4% from 3.2% a month earlier.
The data suggests a boost to household spending power as the rate of inflation, due to be updated on Wednesday, currently stands at 2%.
