regional and national level. The local area has a higher proportion of employees that hold ‘process
plant & machine operatives’ occupations (14.5%) than the proportion for the same occupations
found in Yorkshire and Humberside (8.5%) and Great Britain (6.6%). This supports the higher
manufacturing activity found locally compared to regionally and nationally. Similarly, there is a
slightly higher proportion of ‘skilled trades’ occupations in North East Lincolnshire (12.4%)
compared to Yorkshire and Humberside (10.2%) and Great Britain (11.0%). There is a lower
percentage of ‘managerial’ and ‘professional’ occupations held in the local area (20.2%)
