Looking for work? UK jobs map reveals best and worst places in the country to find employment

21 February 2012

The best and worst places in the UK to find a job have been revealed in a new study which shows there are as many as 80 people for every vacancy in some areas.

Looking at available posts and the number of unemployed in 50 locations researchers were able to put together the study to highlight the competition for jobs across the UK.

Hull emerged as the toughest place to secure a job with a staggering 80 jobless for every available vacancy while Stoke-on-Trent came a close second with 72 people unemployed for each advertised post.

Aberdeen in Scotland was found to be the easiest place to find work, with fewer than one unemployed person for every available job.

The Scottish city’s employment growth continues to be buoyed by oil and gas and the number of vacancies in the industry is at 18 times the national average.

The nature of jobs available also changes from region to region and Aberdeen also boasts the greatest number of available jobs in construction, followed by Derby and Birmingham.

Scotland is the fifth largest financial services centre in Europe and the industry accounts for around £7 billion or 7% of Scotland’s GDP. The business and financial services sector in Scotland has grown faster than the rest of the UK over the last five years, creating 65,000 new jobs.

IMO, the so-called "financial services sector" is just another name for "parasites", wherever they are located .....
