GLA Job Definition

Question No: 2607 / 2012

Andrew Dismore

MQT 776/2012 says, “At present there is no consistent methodology applied across the GLA Group (or the UK more generally) for job definitions.” What steps, if any, are you taking to provide a definition? When do you expect such a definition to be produced?

Written response from the Mayor

I set out the methodology for counting the 200,000 jobs on the 19^th July Investment & Performance Board.  This includes a “Job definition”. More information can be found at:
