GVA Greater Manchester

Unemployment Greater Manchester

Source: ONS, Claimant Count, Oxford Economics

■ The unemployment outlook is more positive this year, with around 20,000 fewer claimants expected in 2024.

■ The latest data shows 2014 to have been better than expected

■ Welfare effect more muted than provisioned for, coupled with higher job numbers and modestly less population

■ Our GVA growth outlook for the area is marginally weaker than the previous release.

■ GVA has been rebased to 2011 prices and based upon the 2010 European System of Accounts.

■ Classification can be an issue – but strong growth in parts of the country

■ Expected to grow steadily

■ ‘Big Data’ and computerisation of more activities (law, consulting etc. could see re-classification into this sector)

■ The primary source of job growth

■ ‘Catch-all’ sector for wide range of services – suggest breaking down where you can in policy circles

■ Remember outsourcing from other sectors – key to understand this sector

■ Needs ‘broken down’ to fully understand the local labour market – do you know what your agency workers do?

■ Key sector for both tourism and consumer spending

■ Expected to recover in line with wider economy, but could do even better?

Research questions

Understanding the local data – examining the results, checking the validity and inputting on the baseline position.

The temporary employment agencies – a key component of the labour market, what sectors are the people actually working in?

What does the professional services sector do? Who does it serve, what are the risks / opportunities?

Policy observations

Are skills shortages about to re-emerge, evidence would suggest yes

Impact on migration?

Are the falling numbers of people unemployed reflecting more people in work, or people leaving the system

The long term unemployment problem remains a key challenge

How well do we understand inactivity / hidden unemployment?

Risks and policy considerations

46

Page 47: Greater Manchester Forecasting Model 25 th November 2014 Professor Neil Gibson Special Advisor: Oxford Economics.

Assessing the risks

Upside: wage pressures, skills shortages

Upside: sectoral tapestry – spreading the wealth?

Downside: Debt and interest rate rises

Downside: Austerity, cutting not pruning?

Upside / downside: The competition

Upside / downside: External conditions

47

Page 48: Greater Manchester Forecasting Model 25 th November 2014 Professor Neil Gibson Special Advisor: Oxford Economics.

Policy considerations

Jobs growth – do we believe it, could there be upside pressures?

Are we on top of the business issues, esp. skills?

Demographics – scenario planning, merging your knowledge with the data

Broader church of growth – challenging picking winners?

The supply side impacts of broader growth – skills, land, housing, transport

Vulnerability of jobs – temporary agencies and the elementary workers

How is the public sector today? Are we austerity ready (and will it happen)?
