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 />
