New study reveals the most disproportionately popular jobs across the UK
New research by Ciphr reveals the most disproportionately common jobs across the UK, showing regional variations in employment concentrations.
A recent study by HR software provider Ciphr has uncovered which jobs are most disproportionately common in different parts of the UK. The research, based on the ONS’s latest regional employee estimates for over 370 occupations, highlights roles that are more concentrated in certain areas compared to the UK average.
The study found that London has nearly twice the concentration of CEOs compared to the rest of the UK, with 76 CEOs per 10,000 employees versus the national average of 39 per 10,000. In contrast, Wales has the lowest concentration of CEOs, with just 14 per 10,000 employees.
Key findings for each region include:
London: The capital has the highest concentration of people employed in elementary storage occupations, such as order pickers and warehouse operators, at over four times the UK average. It also has three times the national average of actuaries, economists, statisticians, solicitors, lawyers, interior designers, authors, writers, translators, and brokers.
South East: Officers in the armed forces are the most disproportionately common occupation, with 35 per 10,000 employees, over twice the UK average. Other prevalent roles include biological scientists, computer system installers, medical secretaries, and train drivers.
East of England: This region has nearly three times the UK average of people employed in animal care services, including welfare officers, zookeepers, and vet assistants. High concentrations are also found in newspaper editors, transport managers, production engineers, and events managers.
East Midlands: The highest concentration of publicans and managers of licensed premises is nearly five times the UK average. The region also has more managers in agriculture, skilled metal trade supervisors, and large goods vehicle drivers.
Yorkshire and the Humber: Home to a higher than average share of pensions and insurance clerks, with 63 per 10,000 employees, 2.5 times the UK average. There are also twice as many mental health nurses and child and early years officers.
