Jobs in London

When it comes to jobs in London the Capital offers the greatest choice and range of positions.

People come to London to find work as it is the capital, it is cosmopolitan, has an exciting reputation and there are plenty of jobs in London. But are London’s streets paved with gold? London, like the UK, has undergone a change in the past twenty years, shifting from industrial to post-industrial or service economy.

The leading sectors are now finance and business services, together with cultural and creative industries, such as film, TV, publishing, design. The change in the make up of London’s workforce has been marked, with a reduction of jobs in manufacturing companies from 1.5 million to 250,000 in 40 years. Indeed most of this quarter of a million are actually working in company head offices in London, rather than actually making anything! London’s old docklands are now only docklands in name, the areas being given over to offices, business centres and luxury apartments. All this means that London’s workforce is more middle class than in the past. However, there is still a demand for unskilled and low paid service jobs in London, with a growth in jobs in bars, restaurants, cleaning, security. Average earnings for jobs in London are nearly 50% higher than in the UK as a whole, but the top 10% earn six times as much as the bottom 10%.
