Staffordshire and Stoke Economic Bulletin

The impacts of the global economic recession are being felt at all levels. Locally in Staffordshire the recession is having differing impacts on the range of communities and economic sectors locally. A large proportion of employment in sectors which have been identified as being among the most vulnerable in a recession (Manufacturing and Construction) has been one factor in Staffordshire experiencing very high increases in rates of claimant unemployment.

As a response to the need for up to date information on the local economy, the Policy and Performance Team publishes a monthly economic bulletin, considering issues such as unemployment, national economic conditions and indicators, local job gains and losses and the state of the housing market.

The bulletins will be produced on a monthly basis shortly after the publication of claimant unemployment data, to support the need for a timely evidence base during the recession.

A new joint economic bulletin has been produced in partnership between Staffordshire County Council and Stoke-on-Trent City Council and includes the usual information on unemployment and media stories of job losses and gains provided by the previous Staffordshire Economic Bulletin, plus some additional information on the state of the local and national economy. These bulletins can be accessed through the links below:
