GOOD news. York’s unemployment rate fell again last month to 1.1 per cent. We are at full employment. What York people need is better pay in both middle-income sectors and more high-value jobs.

In research on increasing profitable local businesses and entrepreneurs, high-quality city-centre office space is in demand.

The Economic Development Unit is aiming to get an anchor tenant to agree to site in York Central. If anyone has any suggestions on how to achieve this, please let the council or me know.
