Britain has experienced the worst recession since the 1930s and is facing the toughest squeeze in generations. What does this mean for family finances and what can people do about it?

The first episode of the series tackles jobs and pay.

Financial reporter Libby Potter investigates why top earners have seen their pay rise so much faster than the rest of us – even during the downturn. But with pressure building to curb top pay in the public sector, can the boardroom bonanza continue?

And for those who can’t go it alone, but are still worried about their pay and employment prospects, money saving expert Martin Lewis weaves his financial magic. Like so many families, the Merrimans have taken a hit in the downturn. Their income has slumped and there are worries about savings, debt and retirement plans. Over the series, Martin will attempt to transform their finances. This week, how can they boost their income?
