Bournemouth records fifth highest growth in new jobs in the country


The city of Bournemouth has recorded the fifth highest level of growth in the country in terms of the number of new jobs being created, a new report from the Centre for Cities has revealed.

The research paper, entitled ‘Outlook 2015’, claims that Bournemouth is the only town in the South West where jobs have not fallen behind the UK average between 2004 and 2013. In fact, the town has recorded a 10 per cent increase, with 15,500 jobs created.

Bournemouth also achieved a top ten ranking for the highest number of businesses per 10,000 people in 2013 and ranked fifth for digital connections thanks to its high speed broadband availability.

The leader of Bournemouth Council, Councillor John Beesley, said: "Despite the considerable challenges of the recession we have been strategically investing in regeneration projects to attract inward investment, improving our transport network, supporting business start-ups and striving to retain graduate talent in the town to increase our skills base."
