North Tyneside councillors have asked for deep dives into the state of the regional economy and higher education in a bid to keep talent in the North East.
The economic prosperity sub-group were shown wage and education statistics in the borough and were left with more questions than answers. The average weekly wage for the North Tyneside was calculated at £575.10, an increase from 2018 at £542.80.
Councillors noted while North Tyneside is outperforming many other regions, including Yorkshire and the Humber at £568, there are still national disparities.
