Abstract
An analysis of the characteristics of a sample of the unemployed in the local area of Stoke‐on‐Trent, UK, is compared with information on the skills and characteristics which would be demanded resultant from an expansion of the local economy in both public and private activity. Much evidence emerged to show that a likely mismatch exists between the skills of the unemployed and the skills required by an expanding local economy.
