Theme 1: Thanet's Economy

Some of the reasons why this theme is important to us are:

• Thanet is one of the most economically deprived districts in the south east;
• Unemployment levels in Thanet close to twice that of the south east as a whole (5.6% vs 3.0%);
• Average wage levels remain below the south east average;
• On average people in Thanet are not as well qualified than people across the rest of the south east;
• Job prospects have been ranked as a much higher priority by Thanet residents than residents of other districts.
