Cardiff and the North of Wales has experience employment growth while the South Wales Valleys have suffered decline. Average earnings vary considerably across Wales, they are generally higher in east Wales. Wages in Bridgend and Neath Port Talbot are centres of skilled manufacturing employment so have remained good. In the north and north west earnings are low but the employment rates are high and above the Welsh average.
