Disparity Between Success and Failure Widening in U.K. Cities

19 January 2010 - 7:00am

The difference between success and failure in the U.K. has gotten worse with the recession, with ailing cities getting worse and successful cities are coming out even stronger.

This according to a new study from the Centre on Cities.

Lucy Phillips writes, "Over the past two years the difference between Cambridge and Hull – the cities with residents claiming the lowest and highest shares of Jobseeker's Allowance respectively – has nearly doubled."

The "Jobseeker's Allowance" is an unemployment benefit known informally as "The Dole."
