Hide AdLondon did not make the cut, suggesting that employers are looking outside the UK capital when setting up business.
Lee Biggins, founder and managing director of CV-Library, said: “The ongoing investment into cities outside of London continues to fuel job growth across the UK. It’s great to see stronger career opportunities emerging in Scotland and we expect this to continue into 2016.
“There is still a lot that the government needs address if other cities are going to successfully mirror the scale of work available in London. Councils need to have more control over decisions that affect their regions; a devolution deal in this week’s autumn statement would definitely be a step in the right direction.”
