New start businesses are helping boost the West Lothian jobs market and keep unemployment below 3%.
The figures reflect a pre-pandemic historic low in the county. And new starts are worth £16m to the local economy every year, Jim Henderson, the council’s Business Development Manager told councillors.
Mr Henderson gave an update on the Gateway teams success over the year to members of the councils Economy, Community Empowerment and Wealth Building Policy Development and Scrutiny Panel ( PDSP) today. (Tuesday).
