West Midlands cities are out-performing or in line with the UK average on work-life balance and income distribution, according to newly published research out today.
The 'Good Growth for Cities Index', published by financial services firm PwC, said this was measured by an increase in the proportion of employed people working fewer than 45 hours a week and income distribution as an indicator of wealth equity.
The report ranks 50 of the UK's largest cities, those with populations of at least 350,000 people, plus the London boroughs as a whole and the findings are based on the public's assessment of 12 economic measures.
