Economy Insight on the RSN website has now been updated with an analysis examining employment landscape at the local authority level.  The analysis shows proportions of employees in broad industrial sectors over the years 2015 to 2021 and allows selection of authority or class and classification averages.  Points of note from the analysis include:

• In 2021 both Predominantly Rural and Predominantly Urban areas shared Health as the number one sector for employment.
• Manufacturing was the key sector for employment of full-time workers in Predominantly Rural areas in 2021.
• Retail, Health and Accommodation and Food Services were key sectors for the employment of part-time staff for both Predominantly Rural and Predominantly Urban areas.
