In this context, the city exerts a limited influence within the region in terms of its relative scale, physical extent and labour force catchment.

Labour force participation rates have dropped from 62.7 percent in 2007 to 58.1 percent in 2011 (below the State average.

there is a significantly lower percentage of those with higher level educational attainment in the labour force within the South East (34 percent of those in the labour market have third level qualifications

Finally, the percentage of those with lower secondary and below in the labour force in the South East is high (23 percent) compared to the national average (19 percent), highlighting a significant proportion of those with relatively low skills.
