Estimates of the number of circular jobs within the Scottish economy as well as their characteristics.

More details

There is evidence that the circular sectors are both contributing to economic growth and are playing a foundational role in the Scottish economy due to three factors: the higher labour productivity of FTE employees, the commercially-oriented nature of the sector’s outputs, and the large amount of outputs that contributed to other key sectors of the Scottish economy. There is also evidence of a relative shortage of circular economy skills due to these relatively high wages being offered and the large amount of overtime hours being worked.
