Greater Manchester Sees 10-Year Female Employment Slide Under Burnham
3 articles · Updated · Bloomberg · Aug 29
Summary
A decade after Andy Burnham first became mayor, Greater Manchester has fallen from having a higher share of women in work than the city center to lagging it.
That drop exposes an uneven record in the city-region's economic gains during Burnham's tenure, despite broader claims of success under his brand of 'Manchesterism.'
The latest comparison centers on female employment rather than headline growth, shifting attention to whether prosperity in Greater Manchester has been shared evenly across the workforce.
