Employment remains a concern, with Glasgow posting lower employment than the UK and Scottish average.
Latest data on unemployment shows Glasgow City at 6.4 per cent of the eligible working population. This above the 4.3 per cent at the UK level and 3.7 per cent at a Scottish level.
The challenge Glasgow faces is that many of its fastest growing sectors have a skills shortage in key roles.
Recent programmes such as GROW and some sector specific programmes such as Construction Aware are critical in helping to bridge the gap between opportunities and talent.
Bridging the skills gap should remain a top priority for the city.
