Can I ask what sort of skilled work your husband does? I can't understand that he would only get 20p more than minimum wage for a skilled job with presumably experience?
In terms of employers, there's lots of jobs out there, if I felt I was being underpaid for what I was doing, I'd start to look elsewhere, that's the great thing about markets.
What alternatives are you suggesting in terms of council tax?

My husband is a joiner (with over 45 years experience) he currently works as a maintenance man in an retirement home.
Whilst I appreciate that in terms of emloyers there are 'allegedly' lots of jobs out there - just you try finding another job when you are over 60. Incidentally have you ever been employed (I am a long term job, not one which you had during holidays etc.)? Or, yet again, are you speaking from your 'vaste' knowlege of what you have read or been told by lecturers who have probably never doena proper days work in their lif.
