JOB OPENINGS<br />
PER CAPITA<br />
Technically, the real winner of this category is the City of London.<br />
However, because its job openings per capita are so astronomical<br />
(942% compared to a national average of 10%), we have left it off<br />
the map and the chart, treating it as a bit of a law unto itself. The<br />
next placed area, Westminster, also has more jobs than residents,<br />
as do Camden and Watford, but what is really interesting here is to<br />
see the likes of North Warwickshire, Shetland Islands, and Craven<br />
– Britain’s happiest place according to a 2017 ONS survey 1 – all<br />
making it into the Top 10.<br />
