·The Guardian·Impact 1/5 · Low
MeridStreet AI summary

A report from the Institute for Public Policy Research has found that Rotherham has one of the fewest suitable job opportunities for young people in the UK. This is due to a significant shortage of online vacancies, with only 46 jobs available for every 1,000 young people in the area. In contrast, the Cotswold district council area has a much healthier job market with 288 vacancies per 1,000 young people.
