4 KPI 1 Create 250,000 Private Sector Jobs by ,200 Jobs Created 54% Of Target Delivered Trends After declining during the recession to stand at 633,600 in 2010, private sector jobs in the GBSLEP area grew strongly in 2011 (+23,000) and 2012 (+19,600). Growth was slower in 2013 (+1,800) but accelerated again in 2014 (+41,100) and 2015 (+26,100). In 2016 private sector employment grew by a further 22,400 to now stand at 767,8,00. This is 134,200 above the baseline, with 54% of the 205,000 target achieved. Milestones Proposed t milestones see the majority of the job growth occurring in the period between 2020 to 2030 with 40% of the target to be delivered in the first decade and 60% in the second. Significant private sector jobs growth to date has resulted in the GBSLEP being well ahead of profile in achieving the 250,000 jobs target. 800, , , , ,000 80, ,000 60, ,000 40,000 20, , Change from Baseline Total Private Sector Employment 900, , , , , , ,000 GBS LEP Private Sector Employment Private Sector Jobs Milestones 50,000 40,000 30,000 20,000 10,000 0 LEP LA Performance Private Sector Workplace Employment Area Annual Job Growth Target Profile 2016 Number Actual Employment All nine areas have seen private sector employment growth since The majority of the 134,200 private sector jobs that have been created in the GBSLEP area between 2010 and 2016 have come in Birmingham with 62,000 jobs created in the city. This accounts for nearly half (46%) of all the private sector jobs created; Solihull is the next largest contributor with 26,200 (20%). As the two largest economies in the LEP area this would be expected. If we look at the % growth in private sector employment in each area we can see that Bromsgrove (52%) and Lichfield (36%) have seen the biggest rise proportionately in private sector jobs.

5 KPI 1 Create 250,000 Private Sector Jobs by 2030 Intermediate & Contextual Indicators As this KPI is measured by data released annually with a one year time lag the following intermediate indicators are displayed in order to highlight current performance and trends relating to this KPI. Decreased 11% 27% of firms reported an increase in labour force in Q2 Increased 27% Recruitment The Greater Birmingham Chamber Quarterly Business Report (QBR) Q shows that in April to June % of firms in the LEP area saw there workforce increase, down slightly from Q1 and the share of firms whose workforce decreased rose from 8% in Q1 to 11%.. Unchanged 62% 70% 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% 0% Attempted to Recruit Q Q Difficulty Recruiting Recruitment Difficulties The Q2 QBR found that 50% of firms attempted to recruit in Q down on the previous quarter. The majority of jobs recruited for were full-time, permanent positions. There was a rise in the percentage of firms experiencing recruitment difficulties from 63% in Q1 to 65% in Q2. The main reasons cited by firms were candidates not having the right skills, qualifications or levels of experience, but also candidates not having the correct attitude for work. 920, , , , , , , ,000 Resident Employment Pre Recession Peak Resident Employment Rates Whilst a significant number of private sector jobs (134,200) have ben generated in the LEP area since 2010, public sector employment has fallen by 27,500 so net workplace employment growth stands at 107,700. The number of LEP residents (16+) in employment after falling initially has picked up over recent years to reach a level well above the high reached prior to the downturn. The latest data for Q shows a rise in resident employment in the LEP, up by 5,000 to 897,300.

6 KPI 2 Increase GVA by 29bn by bn GVA Growth 15% Of Target Delivered Trends Real GVA (which removes the impacts of inflation) in the GBSLEP fell sharply during the recession but has shown a steady recovery since 2009 with the 2015 figures pushing economic output in the LEP area back above its pre-recessi0n peak for the first time figures show real GVA is above the 2010 baseline level and up on 2014 also. Milestones 46,000 44,000 42,000 40,000 38,000 36,000 34,000 GBS LEP Real GVA Total GVA ( m) 3,000 2,000 1, ,000-2,000-3,000 The proposed GVA milestones see the majority of the output growth occurring in the period between 2020 to 2030 with 40% of the target to be delivered in the first decade and 60% in the second. This is to take into account that major GBSLEP initiatives will impact more on GVA in the second decade. The 2015 figures have pushed us slightly ahead of profile to deliver the GVA growth target as shown in the chart opposite. LEP LA Performance GVA figures are not available at district LA level the lowest geographical level that official GVA data is available at is for Unitary Authority. However, a figure for the Districts as a whole can be derived and GVA figures for Birmingham, Solihull and the Districts are presented in the table below. Birmingham was the biggest contributor to economic growth in the LEP area in 2015 (+ 1.1bn) accounting for 61% of GVA growth. Solihull experienced the strongest growth rate with its economy expanding by 7.7% in 2015, both Solihull and Birmingham had stronger output growth than nationally (2.2%) in ,000 65,000 60,000 55,000 50,000 45,000 40,000 35,000 Real GVA Milestones 1,600 1,400 1,200 1, Annual GVA Growth Actual GVA m Target Profile 2015 GVA Birmingham Solihull Districts GVA up 1.1bn 4.7% GVA up 477m 7.7% GVA up 226m 1.8% GBSLEP Real GVA 2015 m Change Area m % Birmingham 22,404 22,626 22,636 23,113 23,681 24,790 1, % Solihull 5,475 5,375 5,796 5,808 6,195 6, % Districts 12,134 12,312 12,290 12,276 12,798 13, % GBSLEP 40,014 40,313 40,722 41,196 42,674 44,485 1, %

Unchanged 21% Decreased 11% 68% of firms expect turnover to improve in next 12 months Increased 68% Business Confidence The majority of firms (68%) in the GBSLEP area ere still expecting turnover to improve over the coming 12 months.

The Bristol LEP is the only core city LEP with higher productivity than the UK.

14 KPI 7 GBSLLEP to be the Leading Core City LEP for Quality of Life by 2030 GBSLEP Ranked 5/8 PWC Good Growth Index Quality of Life Index Rankings The GBSLEP is currently the 5th ranked core city LEP area in the PWC Good Growth Index which is the chosen tool for monitoring quality of life in the area and our performance relative to other LEP areas. This ranking has not changed in the 3 years that PWC have been producing an index score for LEP areas. However, the index score itself on which the rankings are based has shown improvement with the index score for the GBSLEP improving in absolute terms and relative to other LEP areas. The gap in index score with both the leading core city LEP area (West of England) and with the current 4th placed area (Greater Manchester) has narrowed for both areas. If this pattern were to continue at current levels the GBSLEP would be expected to move up a ranking in next years results to 4th. - PWC Good Growth Index Rank and Scores Core City LEPs Index Score Performance Score Rank Score Rank Score Rank West of England D2N Leeds Greater Manchester GBSLEP Sheffield North East Liverpool Gap with West of England Gap with 4th Ranked Index Score Differential with West of England Differential with 4 th Placed +75% -6% -70%
