Why?

Specific Employment, Skills & Social Inclusion issues

• Unemployment– Headline not bad, still real pockets of long term (age,

related to ill health/disability, youth issues)• Skills– Improving picture but still ‘top and tail’ issues (and

resulting GVA)• Employment– Still sectoral dependancies in ‘stagnant sectors’ and low

wage levels• Living in Cornwall– Higher costs, lower wages, high debt
