(EMAILWIRE.COM, November 17, 2011 ) Yorkshire, UK -- Although some factories are still going strong in the Yorkshire towns, new, innovative industries are finding a home up north, creating an increase in full time, part time and temporary jobs in Yorkshire.
After London, Yorkshire and Humber is the fastest-growing region in the digital and new media sector thanks to its great infrastructure and excellent supply chain. Academic excellence has also played a part in this rise, as Yorkshire is home to some of the best universities in the UK, of which York, Leeds and Hull are the most distinctive in in electronics, gaming, engineering and software. These universities add value to the growing digital and new media sector as they provide access to highly skilled graduates, an incentive to large digital companies looking for new headquarters, which in turn, is creating future jobs in Yorkshire.
Other sectors are also on the rise in the region; Leeds is being hailed as the new home of the finance and banking sector, outside of the capital. With 30 national and international banks based here, including headquarters for First Direct, Direct Line and Halifax Direct, itÂ’s no surprise that over 110,000 people are employed in the finance sector in Leeds. Bradford is also flourishing in this industry, creating many finance jobs in Yorkshire, with Yorkshire Building Society and Provident Financial calling Bradford home.
The city of York has arguably had the most dramatic of changes to its employment industries. Once famed for its railway work and chocolate manufacturing, it now offers the majority of its jobs in the service industry. The work surrounding the railways declined after the closure of the carriage works in the mid 1990Â’s and the closure of the TerryÂ’s Chocolate Orange factory in 1995 saw substantial job losses. However, now, York is thriving on its service industry and has exciting times ahead after becoming a National Science City with the opening of a science park in close proximity to the University of York, offering exciting new jobs to the people of Yorkshire.
So, they say that people donÂ’t like change, but for the Yorkshire jobs market, the changing industries thriving in the area have bought a brand new influx of creative and financial jobs to the region. Yorkshire has definitely rolled with the times and is currently an exciting and prosperous area to look for either full time, part time or temporary jobs in some of the most innovative sectors in the country.
