UK – White collar are responsible for bringing out of the economic slump

The make up of the UK workforce is fundamentally different to that of 60 years ago. White collar roles dominate the marketplace, and there is strong evidence these workers are responsible for bringing the UK out of the economic slump.

Despite a strong political focus on technical, manufacturing and construction initiatives over the past five years, with funding and tax breaks for these industries dominating the outcomes of the Budget and the Autumn Statement, it would seem that placing greater emphasis on supporting office-based staff is now just as important, if not more so.
