Northern Powerhouse Facts & Figures

The Northern Powerhouse is an abstract concept to grap but the figures below are anything but abstract - they show clearly the difference between the economic position of those that work in the North compared to those who live and work in the South. London incomes compared to the plight of the North for example. 

The Northern Powerhouse contains 4.5 million jobs, accounting for 16 per cent of all Britain’s jobs. These jobs are not evenly spread across the region; 27 per cent of all jobs within the Northern Powerhouse are in Manchester City Region, and 22 per cent in West Yorkshire Combined Authority.
