Birmingham's Unemployment Crisis: Missing Links to Jobs

Birminghams Unemployment Crisis: A City Divided

Birmingham grapples with an alarming unemployment rate, with certain wards like Perry Barr and Ladywood facing emergency levels of joblessness.

The citys leaders acknowledge the issue and plan to partner with government, business, and communities to create pathways into growth sectors like life sciences and manufacturing.
