Economy, infrastructure and skills

Creating the right conditions for economic growth across the whole of Staffordshire that produces more, better paid jobs for residents is a top priority. Through innovative thinking and bold leadership Staffordshire County Council and its partners are focused on offering the right environment for businesses to thrive and capitalising on the opportunities that exist for economic growth.

The focus on investment and job creation in Staffordshire shows a clear commitment to economic growth and prosperity and recognises the many benefits that this will have on the well-being and quality of life of residents. It is intended that this section of our website provides a robust evidence base which can help inform and influence decisions that will help strengthen the local economy.

The economy, infrastructure, skills and employment sections linked to this webpage cover priority areas which have been identified as strategically important to the economy of Staffordshire.

• In addition the Economy, Skills and Insight Teams produce a monthly economic bulletin for Staffordshire & Stoke-on-Trent which provides the timeliest secondary data available on what is happening with the local economy. Read the latest and past editions.
