The number of people commuting to work for more than an hour plummeted by 206,000 in 2007 - highlighting an increase in flexible working.

Britain's top bosses have already earned more money in 2014 than the average UK worker will take home this year, according to the thinktank High Pay Centre.

Up to 10 times as many City bankers as previously expected could be caught by the EU's cap on bonuses, professional services firm PwC has said.

Company executives have seen their bonuses shrink by 23% over the past year, by almost £15,000, according to research by the Chartered Management Institute (CMI).
