The analysis to the right has been undertaken to illustrate the percentage of unem-ployed people within the local super output area (between 1000-1500 residents). From this clear areas of higher unemployment can be seen. This could be used to identify areas of potential la-bour resources.
An analysis undertaken ex-amining the number of peo-ple qualified at level 4 or above has been undertaken to identify areas where large numbers of people are edu-cated to HNC / Degree level or above reside within the Derby and Nottingham ar-eas. From this examination, the areas that benefit from a higher educated population can clearly be seen. This could be used to aid identification of where to lo-cate research facilities.
