4.3.2 Additionally, full-time employment within the <strong>Borough</strong> has actually declined between<br />
1998 and 2003. Understandably, participation levels <strong>of</strong> <strong>Scarborough</strong>’s labour market in<br />
part-time employment have increased from 24% in Q4 2002 to 28% in Q3 2004. With an<br />
economically active workforce <strong>of</strong> 46,000 individuals and some 40,000 jobs available<br />
locally, suggests some level <strong>of</strong> out-commuting to seek employment. In addition, lack <strong>of</strong><br />
enough employment opportunities for a relatively low skills base and an ageing<br />
workforce may suggest that people withdraw from the labour market. Such trends have<br />
consequently resulted in downward trends in economic activity levels <strong>of</strong> <strong>Scarborough</strong>’s<br />
workforce.<br />
