Annual Reports
PC&PE: The Treasury Committee recently published responses from the Government and the Office for Budget Responsibility to its report on the Budget 2012.
ONS: In 2011, Liverpool had the highest percentage of workless households in the UK, according to new analysis from Office for National Statistics. Overall 31.6% of households there were workless, but this was down slightly on the previous year, when 31.9% of households had been workless.
What is common among the areas within the top 5 is that they were all heavily industrialised in the last century. Industries such as the dockyards in Liverpool, coal mining in the Central Valleys and shipbuilding in Glasgow have been in long decline.
