Every year the Centre for Cities publishes their health check for city
economies (64 UK cities). This is a summary of what the Cities Outlook 2015 report means for Coventry. It highlights where Coventry is doing well compared to other cities; growth, job creation, salaries and skilled industries and those areas where Coventry is doing less well; the city has a relatively high proportion of residents with no qualifications and a relatively low employment rate. These indicators do not tell the whole story however.
Read the summary report above for Coventry which puts these statistics into context and gives more detail.
