Survey reveals that big cities suffering 'worst job loss rises'
Big cities outside London experienced the worst job losses over the last year, according to a new study by The Work Foundation.
The poll, which tracked unemployed from February 2008 to February 2009, found that Birmingham suffered the biggest rise in the number of people claiming unemployment benefits.
The percentage of the people out of work in Britain's second city rose from 5.3% to 7.3% - which equates to over 45,000 people now out of work.
Other large cities such as Hull, Manchester, Bradford, Leeds, Glasgow, Sheffield also suffered a big increase in joblessness.
"It is to be hoped that the forthcoming Budget focuses more attention on the large cities - Manchester, Leeds, Birmingham - that can drive the recovery, as well as recognising which areas need the most support to survive and prepare for better times," said Naomi Clayton, senior researcher at the Work Foundation.
The total number of people unemployed in the UK recently rose above 2m for the first time in a decade.
