Video Description

Cannock Chase in Staffordshire is quintessential Middle England - or at least it used to be. Residents there used to earn wages that gave them a comfortable middle class lifestyle. But Sky News analysis shows that Cannock is now one of the lowest-earning areas in the country. It's typical of how the cost of living crisis is hitting higher-earning professional couples, eating into their disposable incomes and leaving them unable to afford the lifestyle they once took for granted. #costofliving #inflation #middleclassfamily #cannockchase #foodbanks SUBSCRIBE to our YouTube channel for more videos: http://www.youtube.com/skynews Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/skynews Like us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/skynews Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/skynews Follow us on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@skynews For more content go to http://news.sky.com and download our apps: Apple https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/sky-news/id316391924?mt=8 Android https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bskyb.skynews.android&hl=en_GB Sky News Daily podcast is available for free here: https://podfollow.com/skynewsdaily/ To enquire about licensing Sky News content, you can find more information here: https://news.sky.com/info/library-sales
