Employment

What we’re currently doing

GLA Economics publishes employment forecasts as a whole and by sector for London in our twice-yearly London’s Economic Outlook. Employment-related economic indicators and an overview of the London economy are published in our monthly e-newsletter, London’s Economy Today. Reports dealing specifically with employment are regularly produced as are specialist reports dealing with a core issue (eg gender) that include employment forecasts relevant for that issue.
