•
16,500 new jobs (+14,400 secured)
6,660 SMEs supported - £640m additional sales
600 new businesses
290,000 assisted with training/development
115,000 sq m. new floorspace created
£293m Net Additional GDP

….but still cause for concern
• Are improvements sustainable ?
• Can we turn revival into transformation?
• Quality of skills and industrial sectors need
to improve further

No employment growth … why?
Locally …
With policy on …
Sub-regional GDP growth
With policy on …
• 30,000 extra jobs in South Yorkshire
• Productivity growth still trails UK
• The productivity gap still widens
• Employment growth now marginally exceeds UK
• Output growth also marginally exceeds UK
• European ranking rises
BUT
• Scope for error in original estimates
• Simplistic approach means UK & Europe stand still whilst SY benefits. This is unlikely. Other
areas get funding too …
• … further considerations also
Further considerations
• Migration
• 30,000 jobs mean people will move in
• Model suggests around 17,000
• Of these 6,000 expected to take jobs
• Commuting
• 30,000 jobs mean people will commute in
• Model suggests an extra 9,000
• Which leaves …
• … 15,000 jobs to be filled by those resident in the area and not in work (remember this is
additional!)
Conclusions
• Advise caution in interpretation, especially scale of impact
• Our standard forecasts suggest little growth, primarily due to lack of supply side inputs
• If intervention goes on to create 30,000 extra jobs as the model suggests, where do these extra
people come from to meet demand?
• Relocation and in-commuting (50%)
• Local people not in work (50%)
• Is this feasible in the context of South Yorkshire’s supply side infrastructure?
• Our long-term models suggest not but significant investment in themes 3 to 6
