Introduction Background

The New Anglia Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP) and the Construction Industry Training Board (CITB) are working together on the creation of a plan for action to enable some of the challenges the LEP faces to be addressed through local construction activity.

This research report creates a detailed ‘evidence base’ that should be utilised to inform decision making and enable the creation and execution of that action plan.

CITB and New Anglia LEP have held a series of discussions highlighting the objectives that this research should inform. This report represents the concluded research, taking into account key questions posed by the LEP, the New Anglia Skills Board and Building Growth Group; addressing issues so that a practical approach can be taken to realising the opportunities that activity in the construction sector can generate in terms of developing skills and creating jobs.

Defining strategic objectives

Underpinning the action plan is the New Anglia LEP, which is a partnership for growth between the private sector, local authorities, universities, further education and other stakeholders across Norfolk and Suffolk.

The LEP’s Strategic Economic Plan (SEP) outlines how the New Anglia LEP will:

Create the right conditions for business to thrive, establishing New Anglia as a centre of global business excellence.

Create 95,000 more jobs across all sectors feeding a more efficient local economy;

Create a further 10,000 new businesses, with a focus on SMEs.

Shape the local workforce to provide people with skills that businesses need to succeed and that will provide them with job opportunities.

Improve productivity, ensuring that by 2026 gross value add per job will equal the national average.

Create 117,000 new homes by 2026, a 32% increase in delivery.

To achieve the goal of increased high value jobs and increased productivity across businesses New Anglia LEP recognises the need to improve the skills system across Norfolk and Suffolk. Activity has taken place through the City Deal approach to bring stakeholders together, including local businesses, training providers and local authorities to ensure a common approach was identified and an effective strategy developed. This strategy (which includes the creation of a Skills Manifesto and Skills Board) focuses on improving processes, utilising funding streams with improved effect and ensuring national programmes are relevant for local stakeholders.

Understanding the challenges that exist in each sector has become key, hence the commission of this study. Construction as a sector is significant and is still feeling the impact of the recession that saw a considerable decline in its skills base and people leaving the sector. Construction projects of all sizes create jobs that contribute to economic growth and stability and require a significantly skilled workforce that needs to be supported and trained, mainly locally. In addition 95% of the construction sector workforce is supplied by SME and micro employers throughout the New Anglia LEP area. The sector is, therefore, dominated by micro businesses and there is a significant proportion of self-employed labour in the sector.


2

Traditionally employers in this segment of the market can be difficult to reach. However, the LEP has made supporting small businesses a priority, which should create significant benefits for the construction sector in this area.

CITB’s primary remit includes:

Assisting and directing the further education offer to employers – improving the quality, relevance and impact of the most significant providers of initial training and up-skilling.

Sharing labour market intelligence – creating a ‘bespoke evidence base’ where required.

Improving employability with a focus on ensuring that young people aged 16-24 have the best opportunity to get a job locally and are work ready.

Supporting business-provider collaboration.

The subsequent action plan co-created by the New Anglia LEP and the CITB team will seek to ensure that a continuing supply of appropriately qualified local people is available to meet the identified local skills and employment outcomes. This approach will be supported and informed by the development of a comprehensive evidence base that will provide information to support decision making and help ensure that the vision and objectives for the New Anglia LEP and CITB are met.

Creating the evidence base

This evidence base will:

Analyse the demand pipeline in the New Anglia area (by occupation, sector and geographically) to understand what construction opportunities are likely to be created, the skills challenges and how employment and training opportunities can be maximised. This analysis will include the impact of any potential new nuclear new build at Sizewell in Suffolk.

Create additional analysis based on the development of a scenario that estimates an element of ‘unknown’ construction projects that have a value less that £250,000 or will be repair & maintenance focussed. The purpose of this is to ascertain additional elements of the demand pipeline but it should be noted that this part of the analysis cannot be assessed at occupational level.

Analyse the wider New Anglia demand pipeline to understand what additional projects will be taking place that will potentially draw on the localised skills base.

What major employers exist in New Anglia that will employ the construction workforce and deliver the forecasted projects.

Conduct analysis into current supply including the existing workforce, provision supplied by local colleges, technical and higher level skills development and retention and how new entrants feed into construction.

Understand the impact of the loss of skills from construction into other sectors post-recession and the risks associated with an aging workforce.

Consider inter-regional supply mobility and how this might impact on construction skills and employment in the area.

Evaluate existing construction training provision in the area, the extent to which this is fit for purpose and the potential viability of a range of flexible training options in the future incorporating innovation within the sector.

CITB will engage local stakeholders, as appropriate, during the development of this action plan and evidence base.

Methodology The methodology utilised covers a range of research approaches rather than relying on a singul method, therefore enhancing the ability to produce a richer evidence base through a range of approaches that are both quantitative and qualitative.

CITB offers a bespoke research service that builds on the detailed Labour Market Intelligence it produces utilising its unique forecasting model known as the Labour Forecasting Tool (LFT). The team works in close partnership with WLC Ltd (a spin out company from the University of Dundee) that specialises in labour productivity, planning and control and building labour forecasting models. Please refer to Appendix A for an explanation of the methodology followed to produce the labour demand figures.

This research has been supported by the CITB research team that specialises in labour market analysis relating to the supply of labour and identifying skills ‘pinch-points’. To date our work has been significantly tested and extends to a portfolio of bespoke research skills commissions at project, programme and regional level to create a compelling evidence base to support decision making.

The research has included:

Demand analysis of construction projects projected over a five year period in the LEP area at a detailed occupational level, utilising the Labour Forecasting Tool.

Analysis of labour supply; including the existing workforce, new entrants (including apprentices) and labour mobility.

Gap analysis to determine occupational pinch-points and decipher recommendations regarding training interventions.

A map of existing provision to support recommendations relating to capacity, capability and collaboration on future curriculum offers.

This methodology has enabled a comprehensive research report to be produced that will identify current and emerging skills needs and make recommendations on strategies and actions to ensure the LEP has a construction workforce that is fit for purpose.

This will underpin the wider construction strategy work that the LEP is progressing with CITB and support the LEP in meeting its strategic priorities in the production of detailed, specific labour market intelligence for construction. The information it will generate will enable stakeholders to hold effective conversations and work across the LEP and with other agencies, employers and providers to ensure maximum employment and training opportunities for local residents.

The Labour Market Intelligence (LMI) and its recommendations will provide the evidence base to enable the New Anglia LEP to ensure that there are adequate and effective programmes of skills development and employment interventions that meet demand during the construction phase of key projects.

A view of demand Introduction

This section provides an evidence base of the labour demand that construction investment will create across the LEP over the next five years. Please refer to Appendix A for an explanation of the methodology followed to produce the labour demand figures. First, in Section 3.2, we analyse the demand based solely on the data contained on the Glenigan database. In Section 3.3, we add to the Glenigan data our estimates of the total value of new build projects that is not included in Glenigan and the value of repair and maintenance projects. We have input this data to our Labour Forecasting Tool1 (LFT) to analyse the skills requirements in each of 28 occupations listed in Appendix B. The results are also presented at a trade, craft and professional level that will enable the LEP to take a comprehensive view of the demand generated by planned projects.

This study includes a detailed analysis of the projects taking place wholly within the counties of Norfolk and Suffolk as well as the relevant portions of frameworks taking place within the area. A detailed picture of the labour demand for the New Anglia LEP area and for the two areas of Norfolk and Suffolk are presented in Appendix E and Appendix F.

Pipeline analysis

Our analysis of the demand in the area initially considers the demand from the known pipeline of work. This demand is principally generated by those projects included within the Glenigan database although it is supplemented with additional knowledge of the New Anglia area’s construction output.

3.2.1. Glenigan pipeline

Our initial analysis of the pipeline of construction work taking place in New Anglia is based on the projects contained in the Glenigan database. This contains details of the planning applications from local authorities. Glenigan supplements this with additional project-specific data. The Glenigan database does not identify every single project in an area as some small projects (typically but not exclusively those less than £250,000 in value) and those which do not require a planning application (including repair and maintenance) are not included. An initial assessment of the projects in the database ensured that only projects which had a) a defined value and b) defined start and end dates were considered in the analysis. Also excluded were two consultancy projects2 and a number of projects (16 in total) which were clearly identified as duplicates. A full set of the projects which were omitted from the analysis are shown in Appendix D. Values given in the Glenigan database are the total value of construction and engineering works. The scope of this study is limited to the construction sector and where appropriate an estimate of the engineering value has been made and removed from the total value to provide what we have termed the construction value.

Included in the Glenigan pipeline are two projects related to the Sizewell C nuclear new build site. These are large, one off projects, which warrant special consideration in understanding the construction labour market in the LEP area. The labour demand figures and timeframe of the Sizewell C project used in the report were provided by the Nuclear Energy Skills Alliance (NESA).

1 A methodological note on the LFT is provided in Appendix A 2 The LFT calculates the demand for professional occupations from a project’s construction value. To include consultancy projects separately would result in double counting

Proportion of total Glenigan Construction spend

Sizewell C Power Stations - Contract 1 Suffolk 5,000 46.0%

Sizewell C Power Stations - Contract 23 Suffolk 1,000 9.2%

The Mean Value Theorem4 was applied to the remainder of the pipeline for Norfolk and Suffolk separately, excluding the two Sizewell C projects in Table 1, to identify the significant projects in the LEP. This process identified 61 significant projects in Norfolk and 74 in Suffolk, in both cases accounting for over 70% of the construction spend in each respective county. This allowed a detailed analysis of a large proportion of all the projects and a comprehensive consideration of the project types to which they were assigned.

Table 2 shows the number of significant projects within each county and the percentage of spend per area arising from the significant projects. The total spend per area can also be seen. The construction spend shown in this table takes account of any adjustments for engineering works and any incomplete, duplicate or consultancy projects. Values are shown in 2015 prices as this was provided in the Glenigan database.

Some of the projects within the Glenigan database have elements that cover more than one area. Elements of the UK-wide Social Infrastructure Development (SID) framework are taking place within the New Anglia LEP. These were estimated to be proportional to the population of the Norfolk and Suffolk counties relative to the UK’s total population. A maintenance and works framework taking place in Norfolk and the surrounding counties was broken down proportionally to each county’s population and the appropriate elements were used for the analysis in Norfolk and Suffolk. A construction framework comprising works in the East of England region was broken down into the

This approach is used to identify the few significant values that account for the largest amount of expenditure. 5 The values in this table are the values from the Glenigan database to which the construction element percentage has been applied and thus reflect the adjusted values of the infrastructure projects to distinguish between construction and engineering construction.

counties of East of England in proportion to their population and the appropriate elements for Norfolk and Suffolk were used in the analysis.

The labour demand for all of the projects in the Glenigan database was produced using the Labour Forecasting Tool. The following input data was used to produce the forecasts.

The value of each project in the pipeline provided in the Glenigan database, for all projects excluding infrastructure.

As noted previously for infrastructure projects, the value used was a percentage of the value in the Glenigan database, representing the construction portion of the value, excluding engineering construction. The percentages applied can be seen in Table 3. The construction proportions have been validated in work we have undertaken for other clients.

Start and end dates of each project provided in the Glenigan database.

For the significant projects, project descriptions in the database enabled us to apply the most appropriate project type (each type is driven by a different underlying model) to each forecast that was run through the LFT. Cases where a project consisted of more than one type were broken down into multiple forecasts that were assigned specific project types to more closely predict the labour demand. This took account of the different types of work within a single project, e.g. mixed developments comprising housing, commercial and industrial.

For the rest of the projects, the default project type allocation as defined in the Glenigan database was applied, except for the infrastructure projects which were individually allocated to the most appropriate type from the available LFT infrastructure types.

Appendix C provides a full breakdown of the significant projects and their construction values. The significant projects’ locations can be seen in Figure 1. The radius of the markers are in proportion to the value of the project.

Figure 1: The significant projects in Glenigan used in this analysis

Table 4 lists the top 20 significant projects, by value, taking place within the LEP in the period 2015-2019.

The data relating to all of the projects has been stored in the version of the LFT for which the LEP will have a licence. All the assumptions regarding the input parameters - including project duration and values - can be updated by the LEP as and when more specific information becomes available. The forecasts have been saved within the LFT for access by the LEP and any changes to scope (including updates to the construction value) can readily be made.

3.2.2. Breakdown of spend by project type

This section provides an overview of the development spend (£m – 2015 values) in the LEP broken down by project type based on the projects included in the Glenigan database.

Table 5 shows the construction spend for each sector. It is clear that housing accounts for some 40% of the construction spend. Infrastructure accounts for around a third of the spend and is particularly driven by offshore wind in Norfolk which accounts for more than 60% of the infrastructure spend in the New Anglia LEP, as can be seen in Table 6. Public non-housing projects account for almost 15% of the spend.

3.2.3. Producing estimates of labour demand

Based on the analysis of the Glenigan database this section presents the labour demand arising within the LEP. Additional detail is shown in Appendix E.

The data in the Glenigan database presents a picture of the forthcoming projects. As the time horizon extends there is less clarity on what is planned. For instance, in some cases a small number of projects are due to complete in the 2020s. However, the small workload shown by the demand profile is highly unlikely to reflect the total amount of work that will take place at that time. It is almost certain that there will be additional projects that come on stream at that time that have not yet been considered. The CSN forecasts, which consider the availability of labour, look forward five years. For consistency we have presented the demand forecasts for the five year period 2015-19 used in the CSN model. Labour demand figures have been rounded to the nearest 50. Figure 2 shows the construction labour demand arising from the Glenigan data for the period 2015-2019 in the LEP.

It should be noted that the workforce will only peak for a relatively short period of time. The ramp up and ramp down to that peak may be quite large. We have therefore presented the average workforce during the year of the peak.

Table 7 shows the labour demand arising from the entire pipeline of projects, as well as the portion of this demand within the 2015-2019 period. It also shows the peak workforce requirement of around 39,000 people occurring in 2016. As noted above the drop off, and indeed the ramp up, of projects from an analysis of a pipeline is somewhat artificial. An approach to overcome this has been applied to the analysis. The approach uses the assumption that the future workforce is approximately equal to the peak. The peak has, therefore, been projected forward and backcast6 to create a more likely scenario of the ongoing workforce. The growth rate is based on the CSN employment forecast for the whole East of England region. The demand with an employment growth rate included is shown in Figure 2. The shaded area shows the likely total labour demand arising from as yet undefined projects.

For the peak year we have shown a detailed breakdown by each of the 28 occupational groups for which the forecast has been produced. These are shown in Figure 3. The projections of labour demand for the trades occupations for the peak year of 2016 are as follows.

The trade occupation displaying the highest demand is “wood trades and interior fit-out” peaking at 4,200 people;

“general labourers” follow with 2,400 people;

“plumbing and heating, ventilation and air conditioning trades” rank third with 2,300 people;

“electrical trades and installation” come next, with around 2,250 people demanded.

All other trades display a demand of less than 2,000 people each.

6 This takes account of the fact that the 2015 Glenigan figures which are tailing off and are past their peak than those in 2016.

Breakdown of labour demand by project type

The labour demand has been calculated from the spend in each project type. In this section we have considered the total labour demand. The peak workforce in 2016 is around 39,000. Figure 4 shows the breakdown of labour demand by project type. For the peak year (2016) it can be seen that more than half of the labour is generated by housing. This is due to the nature of housing work, which tends to be more labour intensive than other types. Towards the end of the five year period there is a ramp-up in infrastructure and particularly energy. This is driven primarily by offshore wind projects in Norfolk.

Figure 4: Construction labour demand arising by sector and sub-sector

Sizewell C nuclear power station

The Sizewell C Nuclear New Build plant-related projects have been estimated at a total construction value of £6bn (based on a Glenigan total project value of £12bn, which includes an engineering construction element estimated from previous work to be 50% of the total value). The labour demand arising from this development will account for a large additional demand in the local authorities in proximity to Suffolk, including Norfolk and other neighbouring counties. For the purposes of this analysis we have consulted directly with EDFE, but have relied on data that is in the public domain. The data we have used has not been confirmed by EDFE. Stage 2 of the EDFE consultation is yet to start and this analysis should be updated in collaboration with EDFE once that process has commenced. The current estimated timescale for the main civils works of Sizewell C is 2021-2028 7. For the purposes of the demand arising from the Sizewell C work we have used the labour demand figures produced by the Nuclear Energy Skills Alliance (NESA). The NESA analysis shows a peak workforce of almost 4,200 construction people in 2024 for Sizewell C. This analysis is broken down by occupation and these have been mapped to the relevant 28 occupational groups used by CITB. It should be noted that this is an annual average construction workforce demand. It does not include the operations or engineering construction workforce. In their consultation document, EDFE forecast

a total monthly peak workforce of 5,600 people 8. From the data available to us, a construction workforce of 4,200 is not inconsistent with a total workforce of 5,600.

We have aggregated the monthly demand across the New Anglia LEP into annual figures and superimposed the demand arising from Sizewell C. For clarity we have presented the forecasts in this section over a 14-year period to coincide with the predicted construction programme of Sizewell. This is shown in Figure 5 with a continued employment rate projected at 2015-19 levels. At peak the Sizewell work accounts for a workload equal to roughly 9.3% of the demand arising from the Glenigan pipeline in the New Anglia LEP. Table 8 shows the impact of Sizewell C as a proportion of the peak workforce from the projects in Glenigan in the Norfolk and Suffolk. This has been projected forward assuming that the growth rate from 2015-19 continues into the next decade at the same rate. It shows that the Sizewell C workforce accounts for up to around 9.3% of the workforce working on the Glenigan pipeline of projects in the New Anglia LEP area.

Assessing the wider demand within New Anglia

3.5.1. Methodology and assumptions

The Glenigan database has two characteristics that prevent the results from providing the entire labour demand profile for the area:

It does not record all smaller projects (roughly those of less than £250,000 value).

It records mainly new build projects and with only a small amount of repair and maintenance works included.

These two issues could have an effect on the calculated labour demand and produce lower figures than expected. We have developed a methodology to provide a complete picture of the labour demand. The following steps are undertaken to provide an estimate of the total labour demand across a region.

1. Only the new build projects arising from the Glenigan database were run through the LFT, excluding any repair and maintenance work.

2. To estimate the full amount of new build work not captured in Glenigan we compared the total Glenigan new build spend in the region (East of England) with the output estimates for the CSN for the peak year, 2016. This allowed us to estimate the new build spend for the entire region not included in the Glenigan database from which we could then factor the corresponding output for the New Anglia LEP area.


19

3. The non-Glenigan new build spend calculated in the previous step was assigned to different sectors, reflecting the mix of works recorded in Glenigan for New Anglia. A separate item was created for each construction sector (e.g. general infrastructure, housing) and assigned a value proportional to each sector’s contribution to the pipeline spend in Glenigan.

4. To calculate the R&M elements of work taking place within the LEP, the CSN output data was used to calculate the ratio of R&M to new build work in the East of England. We assumed this ratio to be constant throughout the region.

5. The LFT was used to calculate the labour demand profile based on the values of different types of work estimated above.

6. Labour demand for 2016 was then projected forward and backcast as required throughout the period analysed. For this process we used the construction employment growth factors applied previously to the known projects.

3.5.2. Updated labour demand calculations and projections

Table 7 shows the labour demand arising from the entire pipeline of projects including the allowance we made for R&M amounting to 96,350 people in 2016, the peak year of Glenigan data, including the allowance made for R&M. The demand is shown in Figure 6. The total labour demand rises from 93,250 people in 2015 to a peak of 98,700 people in 2019. Table 9: Total labour demand in the New Anglia LEP area

Neighbouring regions

This section provides an overview of the large projects and related developments and frameworks that are current or are scheduled to begin within the next five years in the four counties in close proximity to the New Anglia LEP: Essex, Cambridgeshire, Peterborough and Lincolnshire. The Mean Value Theorem was applied twice to identify the significant projects measured by their average annual spend in Glenigan. Table 10 presents the spending profiles of these projects. Values are given in 2015 values.

Summary of demand

The analysis of the labour demand arising from the development spend in the New Anglia LEP peaks at around 39,000 people in 2016. The tail off beyond this point is not likely to represent an actual drop off in construction activity but reflects projects that have not yet been identified. It should also be noted that these figures only represent the developments that are included in Glenigan, which will not necessarily capture all of the construction activity. To project forward this cliff edge in construction activity we have produced an indication of how construction activity in the region (East of England) as a whole is forecast to change over the next five years. This shows a constantly increasing construction spend and activity rising to almost 40,000 by 2019. The labour demand is split in roughly equal proportions between Norfolk and Suffolk.

In the short-term, construction activity in the area is dominated by housing, with public non-residential and infrastructure activity also comprising significant parts of the total spend, the latter mostly owing to offshore wind installations in Norfolk. The largest occupational group is wood trades and interior fit out, with a large labour demand arising from non-manual occupations.

The analysis was extended to include the work planned for Sizewell C Nuclear New Build, commencing in 2021. The demand figures from NESA were used for the analysis and superimposed on the demand in the East of England region, assuming that for the years beyond 2019, a steady yearly increase of 1.4% will be observed in the employment, equal to the average yearly increase for the period 2015-2019 predicted by the CSN. It shows that across the two counties the peak demand at Sizewell accounts for up to almost 10% of the rest of the workload. Should there be any changes in timescales to the works then the increased demand will be delayed.

By supplementing the Glenigan pipeline with the data provided by the projections of non-Glenigan new build and R&M work, we were able to produce a labour demand analysis that represented the wider construction work taking place within the New Anglia LEP area in the period 2015-2019 incorporating the projected growth of the sector. According to these projections, the total labour demand will rise to a number of around 98,700 people in 2019.


26

A picture of supply When looking at the supply of workers there are two main elements to consider: the size of the current workforce and the existing amount of training.

The first element of this section takes a view on the current employment levels for the New Anglia LEP, how this is made up from the local authorities of Norfolk and Suffolk, and then how this relates to overall employment across the East of England Region. Data from CITB’s Construction Skills Network is used along with official Government sources.

For the second section, while training occurs at Further Education (FE) and Higher Education (HE) levels, the focus will be on FE that takes place in the New Anglia LEP and wider East of England Region. FE tends to be sourced and delivered in a closer proximity to home and workplace, whereas the length of study time and specialisms for Universities for HE can give greater degrees of mobility.

The demand forecasts can then be compared against employment, training and workforce mobility to give an indication of possible gaps and/or occupational pinch points.

Main points

Current construction workforce estimates for the East of England are just over 247,000 workers.

New Anglia LEP accounts for 24% of the East’s current construction employment (approx. 59,500 workers).

Within the LEP construction employment is fairly evenly spread between the counties of Norfolk and Suffolk (25,700 in Norfolk and 23,400 in Suffolk).

Construction businesses are also fairly evenly split between Norfolk and Suffolk with 3,885 in Norfolk and 3,485 in Suffolk, and the size profile of these employers is the same across both counties with the overwhelming majority (over 93%) being micro sized companies (0-9 employees) in both.

There were just under 5,600 Construction and Building Services Engineering learning aims delivered in the LEP area, accounting for 6.5% of the total number of learning aims in 2012/139.

Twenty-eight training providers delivered construction relevant FE courses within the LEP area, with the six main providers delivering almost two-thirds (64%) of all FE Construction and Building Services Engineering learning.

9 Note: a leaner can have multiple learning aims depending upon the nature of the course learning.


27

Existing workforce

Construction employment across the UK suffered significant declines during the recent recession, and the East was no exception as shown in Figure 7 below. Employment in the region increased steadily from just under 213,000 in 2002 to over 262,000 2008. The recession saw a steep fall in this figure to a low of 226,600 workers two years later in 2010 before beginning to recover. By 2014 the number of construction workers in the region had climbed to over 242,250, and the current CSN forecast is for continued employment growth to just over 256,000 in 2019, although this will still be below its 2008 peak.

Figure 7: Construction employment in the East of England: 2002-2019 (Source: Experian & CITB)

An analysis of the Annual Population Survey10 gives an indication of the share of Eastern England’s construction workforce located in the LEP. The latest data shows that the LEP area accounts for 24% of regional construction employment, Table 11 below shows what this means for total employment at occupational and industry level in the LEP region.

Sub-regional analysis shows that in the New Anglia LEP area the construction workforce is more or less evenly split between Norfolk and Suffolk (52% and 48% respectively), although there is considerable difference in the levels of self-employment between Norfolk and Suffolk with over half


29

the construction workforce in Norfolk being self-employed (51%) while just over one-third (35%) of the Suffolk workforce is self-employed.

Employer Structure

Analysis of construction firms reveals that just under a quarter (23%) of all construction firms within Eastern England are located in the LEP area. As with employment, the number of employers are fairly evenly split between Norfolk and Suffolk (53% and 47% respectively).

Overall the pattern of firm size is similar in each county, as shown in Figure 8, with just over 93% of firms being micro (employing fewer than 10 people). There are five large employers (with more than 250 employees) in the New Anglia LEP area, although the numbers are too small to identify them any further than this.

Figure 8: Construction firms by size, 2014 (Source: ONS/NOMIS)

Training provision

In terms of delivering skills to the construction workforce, further education providers play a significant role in equipping people with vocational skills for all sectors of UK business, and for construction in particular.

Data available at local authority level produced by the Skills Funding Agency11 shows that in Further

Education learner volumes, Norfolk and Suffolk accounted for just under 69,840 learners which represents 25% of total provision in the East of England (all learners, all sectors).

11 Skills Funding Agency (2014) Overall FE and Skills Participation by Level and Age and by Region, Local Education Authority and Local Authority (2005/06 to 2013/14) – Learner Volumes.


30

Although the number of learners can be identified, it is more difficult to identify training as this is reported by learning aims, and not the number of learners; ‘learners’ generally refers to the number of individuals who are funded in each year, while the term ‘learning aims’ refers to the number of discreet pieces of learning that are funded. It is possible for an individual to complete multiple learning aims in each year, with each aim having some level of funding against it.

There are two main categories of learning aims relevant to the Construction Sector, Construction and Building Services Engineering; together they accounted for almost 5,600 learning aims delivered in the LEP area (Norfolk 2,980 and 6%; Suffolk 2,600 and 7%)12. This represents just over 6.5% of the total number of learning aims across all sectors, and gives an indication of how construction training fits within the overall FE provision which is lower than the 8% share that construction has for total employment in the New Anglia LEP area.

Data from the Skills Funding Agency13 identified 28 training providers delivering FE and skills Construction and Building Services Engineering learning at all levels across the LEP area, with the six main providers being responsible for almost two-thirds of construction training, these are:

Peopleplus (was A4E LTD)

City College, Norwich

West Suffolk College

The College of West Anglia

Lowestoft College

National Construction College, CITB

Six further providers (Easton and Otley College, Suffolk New College, Great Yarmouth College, Norfolk Training Services Ltd, JTL, and Norfolk County Council) deliver training volumes of around 100 – 400 aims per year along with a wider number that deliver learning aim volumes of less than 50 aims per year. Although not identified in the figures, there will also be providers delivering training at very low volumes such as less than 10 learning aims per year.

Note the training will cover full and part time further education, apprenticeships and on-site assessment for qualifications such as National Vocational Qualifications (NVQs) and QCF Diplomas and Certificates.

Data available from the Skills Funding Agency do not allow identification of course level detail, however the websites of the main training providers (links in Appendix G) indicate that there is a range of courses on offer that would relate to the main occupations, while also covering some of the technical and higher level skills that would be relevant to work currently underway in the LEP and future planned projects.

31

Mobility of the workforce

The construction workforce is highly mobile, with workers tending to move from project to project which may mean working in other counties or regions (or even countries) from where they usually live. To measure the extent of this movement of workers, CITB commissioned research (Workforce Mobility and Skills in the UK Construction Sector 2015) to provide a reliable evidence base of the nature of the construction workforce in the UK concerning its qualification levels and the extent of occupational and geographic mobility to offer insight into where skills gaps might emerge as a result of occupational/geographic movement. The research provides data at a regional level so that future training interventions and the supply of job opportunities for local people can be understood.

Main points

More than a quarter of East of England construction workers have worked in the construction industry for over 20 years (27%) and a total of more than half have worked in the industry for at least 10 years (52%).

At the time of the research just over half of all construction workers in the East of England were working in the same region/nation in which they were living in when they started their construction career (55%).

The average (mean) distance from workers’ current residence (taking into account temporary residences) to their current site was 27 miles (22 miles is the UK average).

Three quarters of all East of England construction workers are confident that when they finish their current job their next job will allow them to travel to work from their permanent home on a daily basis (76%).

Overall two-fifths of all construction workers have only worked on one project type (40%).

Amongst construction workers under the age of 60 in the East of England, well over a third (38%) believe they will definitely want to be working in the construction sector in five years’ time, a further third (33%) believe it is very likely they will, and 10% believe it is quite likely they will. In total over four-fifths of workers in the region aged under 60 believe that it is likely they will still be working in construction in five years’ time.

Work history

More than a quarter of East of England construction workers have worked in the construction industry for over 20 years (27%) and a total of more than half have worked in the industry for at least 10 years (52%).

The most likely reason for employees working in the East of England region is because their employers sent them there (50% of all workers), this compares to just 36% for the UK as a whole, suggesting a greater reliance on workers from other regions than may be typical in other parts of the UK. Just over two-fifths (43%) of workers in the East state that they work in the region because they grew up there, this compares to 55% across the whole of the UK.

In terms of the regions/nations in which workers’ current employer operates, around two-thirds (67%) of workers in the East of England reported that their employer operated within the region they were currently working in (the second lowest figure in the UK after the South East at 65%), while 27% operated in London, 23% in the South East and 16% in the East Midlands, as shown in Appendix H.

These figures suggest the workforce in the East is more transitory that might be expected in other regions.


32

Worker origins

Workers were asked which region/nation they were living in just before they got their first job in construction in the UK. Overall just over half of all construction workers in the East of England were working in the same region/nation in which they were living in when they started their construction career (55%) the same as for the South East and slightly higher than London at 50%. Workers currently based in the East of England, therefore, are among the least likely to have remained in the same region/nation in which they were based for their first construction job.

In addition, only half of the construction workers in the East of England (50%) have remained in the same region/nation as they did their first qualification/training in. This is the lowest proportion of all the regions/nations in the UK, meaning that workers in the East are the most mobile. Among other regions/nations, the figure ranges from 55% of workers in the South East remaining in the area where they took their first qualification to 96% in Northern Ireland.

Travel to site

Almost two-thirds (63%) of construction workers in the East of England have their current residence in the region, with 37% travelling into the region for work from another region/nation in which their current residence is based. Only the South East had a higher figure for inward travel to work with 42% of workers living outside the region. At the time of the survey 12% of construction workers in the East had travelled into the region from the East Midlands, and a further 12% had travelled in from London.

Workers in the East were asked to indicate the furthest distance they have worked from their permanent or current home in the last 12 months. Figure 9 shows that 1 in 8 construction workers have worked no more than 20 miles away (12%) and a further third have worked between 21 and 50 miles away (34%). This leaves more than half that have worked more than 50 miles away from their permanent home (52%), with more than a quarter that have worked between 51 and 100 miles away (29%). Just under a quarter of construction workers in the East that have worked more than 100 miles away (23%) which is about average for the UK.


33

Figure 9: Furthest distance worked in past 12 months (CITB, 2015)

Site duration and change

In order to get a measure of workplace stability, workers were asked to indicate how long in total they expect to work at that specific site during this phase.

Three in ten construction workers in the East of England (30%) do not expect to work on that site for more than a month, including 7% that only expect to be there for about a week or less. About 4 in 10 anticipated being on site for more than a month, but less than a year (39%), while one in eight expects to stay on that site for a year or longer (13%). In just under 1 in 5 cases (18%) workers did not know how much longer they could expect to be on site, indicating that a significant minority of temporary workers are living with a certain amount of uncertainty and insecurity.

Three quarters of all construction workers in the East of England are confident that when they finish this job they will get a job that allows them to travel from their permanent home to work on a daily basis (70%).

Sub-sector and sector mobility

All workers were asked which of six types of construction work (New Housing, Housing Repair and Maintenance, Commercial, Private Industrial, Public Non-Housing, or Infrastructure) they have spent periods of at least three months at a time working in (Table 12).

Overall two fifths of all construction workers have only worked on one project type (40%), compared with a fifth in 2012 (19%), which again suggests a pattern of increased stability in the sector.

Leaving the sector

In order to assess the potential outflow from the sector in the next five years (based on workers’ preferences), all workers were asked how likely it is that in 5 years’ time they will still want to be working in construction. Excluding those aged 60 and over (as those over 60 may be assumed to be considering retirement in the next five years): 38% believe they will definitely want to be working in the construction sector, 33% believe it is very likely they will want to be working in the construction sector and 10% believe it is quite likely they will want to be working in the construction sector, a total of 81%. Only 5% think that they will not want to be working in the construction sector in five years’ time which is less than in 2012 (18%).

Overall the findings from the Mobility survey indicate that the East of England has one of the most mobile construction workforces in the UK. There is evidence of a high degree of movement between neighbouring regions, (specifically nearly one-quarter of the workforce is from either the East Midlands or London).

Demand against supply Main points

Before looking at demand against supply, it should be noted that the Glenigan dataset used to produce the demand view is based on projects that are picked up at various stages of the planning process. As such there will be projects in the pipeline that may not go ahead or be subject to delay; additionally there will be newer projects that will be added to the list. In this respect the view is essentially a snapshot of what potential work could look like.

When looking forward, there will be less visibility on future projects, especially for work that requires shorter planning times. Research carried out by CITB on behalf of UKCG (Figure 10, unpublished) showed that the lead time from planning to work starting on site varied by the type of work and value. Large scale infrastructure and commercial projects took the longest time whereas lower value work in general along with work in the industrial sector was able to get on site quickest.

Figure 10: Average number of weeks from planning to work on site, UK 2010-2013 (Source: UKCG/Glenigan)

There will also be work carried out that does not require planning permission, for example household repair and maintenance (R&M) work, and this can account for a significant share of work in the construction sector. Current estimates for R&M work in the East of England indicate that it accounts for 48% of yearly construction output in the region14 well above the UK average of 39%.

Also in looking at demand against supply, while different types of projects can be categorised by their type of build, such as housing, commercial and industrial, the workforce skills required are less easy to categorise in the same way as some occupations will be able to apply their skills across a number of different sectors. For example, evidence from the 2015 Mobility research15 shows that occupations such as plasterers and banksmen/bankspersons are most likely to have only worked on one project

14 CITB(2015) Construction Skills Network – East of England 15 CITB(2015) Workforce Mobility and Skills in the UK Construction Sector – East of England


36

type, while bricklayers, site managers, dryliners, and scaffolders are more likely to have worked on a wide range of building projects.

In general, as discussed in the Mobility section, construction workers in the East of England are amongst the most mobile in the country, which suggests that the supply of workers for future projects will be supplemented by workers from outside the area.

Gap Analysis

At peak activity which is forecast to occur in August 2016, there would be an estimated monthly demand of over 47,500 workers; for the whole of 2016 and 2017 there would be average monthly demands of 39,000 workers and 21,150 workers respectively. As Table 13 shows, peak demand and then the average yearly demand figures based on the work identified would account for a significant share of the current workforce employed within the LEP.

2016 Average Demand (% of 2015 employment)

New Anglia LEP 80% 66%

Table 13: Demand as a % of 2015 employment (Source: CITB/WLC)

The demand details covered in Section 3 show that work across the LEP will require involvement from the full range of construction occupations across the timeline. Analysis of the occupational groups used in the CSN, which can be compared to estimates of current employment allows examination of both yearly demand and peak demand (as highlighted in Table 14).

Total 80% 66%

This analysis shows that there are some possible disparities where demand either outstrips or matches the current employment estimates for a number of occupations. These are:


38

Non–construction operatives.16

Civil engineering operatives not elsewhere classified (nec).17

Specialist building operatives nec.18

Surveyors.

Glaziers.

Roofers.

Labourers nec.

Plant operatives.

For each of these occupations, peak demand exceeds current employment and average employment in 2015 and 2016 is more than 20 percentage points higher than the average for all occupations for either or both years.

Of these occupations the main risks look to be around the future supply of:

Non–construction operatives.

Civil engineering operative not elsewhere classified.

Specialist building operatives not elsewhere classified.

All of these will all be in high demand, based on both their share of forecasted employment, and the absolute numbers required.

It is interesting to note that the analysis forecasts potential shortfalls across a wide range of occupations based on their skillsets, qualification levels and those traditionally working across other sectors. The following discussion categorises the occupations between those which are construction specific and those which also work in other sectors.

5.2.1. Construction specific occupations

The category of Civil engineering operatives nec covers occupations that include road construction, rail construction and maintenance, and quarry workers. Within these areas they cover higher qualification occupations up to degree level, as such there can be at least three years of education and training before becoming qualified. It is, therefore, highly likely that the short-term demand increase identified would require workers to be drawn into the LEP area.

While the skill requirement for Labourers nec (which are all elementary construction occupations) may not be as high as trades such as carpentry, roofing and the like, some may see it as a way of gaining construction experience. The risk here is the number required and the amount and availability of training that would be needed for them to work safely on construction sites, however this is likely to be focused on the number of candidates from within the LEP area that are willing to take up labouring roles.

16 General occupation title that covers: Metal making and treating process operatives, Process operatives nec*, Metal working machine operatives, Water and sewerage plant operatives, Assemblers (vehicles and metal goods), Routine inspectors and testers, Assemblers and routine operatives nec, Elementary security occupations, Cleaners and domestics, Street cleaners, Gardeners and landscape gardeners, Caretakers, Security guards and related occupations, Protective service associate professionals 17 General occupation title that covers: Road construction operatives, Rail construction and maintenance operatives, Quarry workers and related operatives 18 General occupation title that covers: Construction operatives nec, Construction and building trades nec Industrial cleaning process occupations, Other skilled trades nec


39

The demand for Surveyors is certainly linked to an increasing demand for higher level skills that sits across construction in general. As well as a degree there is a requirement for two to three years of further training to become a fully qualified surveyor, so the only way that demand in this occupation can be met is by recruiting workers from outside the region. Given their integral nature to every part of the construction process, especially at the commencement of construction activities, supply of skilled workers in this occupation will need consideration.

Both Glaziers and Roofers account for relatively few workers. While the overall demand in these occupations is relatively small when compared to other trades, in comparison to base employment it represents a significant recruitment risk. In addition, owing to their niche nature, training opportunities for these occupations tend to be lower than other trades.

Specialist building operatives nec covers a range of occupations that have specialised and niche skills predominately used for repair and refurbishment, this type of work tends to be more labour intensive and consequently they are in high demand throughout the forecast period. Dependent upon the type of specialism required the current training provision within the LEP may be able to train some of the demand, but there may be a necessity to export from other regions.

5.2.2. Cross-sector occupations

As skills in these occupations can be used in other sectors, the degree to which demand can be met will be influenced by factors other than construction demand.

Non-construction operatives tend to provide support roles and do not rely on construction specific skills, therefore employment in this group can be subject to general market conditions. Although there is a significant increase in percentage terms, the impact would need to be examined in more detail against wider workforce/job projections.

Plant Operatives move between construction and other sectors such as manufacturing and wholesale/distribution. Appendix G suggests that there is only one sizable provider of plant training in the region, so there may need to be some reliance on recruitment from outside the region.

In regards to how demand fits with existing training provision, Appendix G highlights that the five main colleges across the LEP cover a wide range of construction training and qualifications. However it should be noted that although construction work will generate a training demand, other factors such as the requirement to have a qualification in relation to a competence card (Construction Skills Certification Scheme (CSCS) http://www.cscs.uk.com/ and Construction Plant Competence Scheme (CPCS) http://www.citb.co.uk/cards-testing/construction-plant-competence-scheme-cpcs/about-the-cpcs/) and delivering training to people leaving school, will also have a bearing on what training is required.

As noted earlier, there will be other work carried out in the LEP area that does not require planning permission, which will not have been captured in the demand analysis. With the level of demand identified taking up most of the workforce, and given the mobility factors outlined above, it is very likely that workers will need to be drawn in from outside the LEP to meet demand.

Long term construction employment forecast

The Construction Skills Network provides a forecast for construction employment by region and occupation for the next five years. In numbers terms the East of England’s total employment is predicted to increase by almost 14,000 in the five years to 2020, from just over 237,700 in 2015 to just under 251,700 in 2020.

40

Given that 24% of construction workers in the East of England are based in the New Anglia LEP area, it is possible to use the CSN forecast for the region to estimate the changes to the LEP workforce over the next five years. The LEP construction workforce would be expected to increase by around 3,300 – 3,400 workers between 2015 and 2020.

The Annual Recruitment Requirement (ARR) is a gross requirement that takes into account workforce flows into and out of construction, due to factors such as movements between industries, migration, sickness, and retirement. It provides an indication of the number of new employees that would need to be recruited into construction each year in order to realise forecast output.

The East of England’s ARR for 2016–2020 is 3,900. This is higher than the overall increase in the construction workforce due to the negative effect of people leaving the industry. It represents 1.6% of base 2016 employment, similar to the UK average of 1.7%.

The ARR for the New Anglia area would be expected to be in the region of 900-950 additional recruits per year (in addition to the workforce flows and movement in and out of the industry outlined above). The occupations most in demand over the 2016-2020 forecast period will be:

Electrical trades and installers – 165 ARR

Labourers nec – 120 ARR

Painters and Decorators – 100 ARR

There is some cross-over between the short term requirements outlined by the Glenigan data and these longer term forecasts, in that both predict a demand for Labourers nec. In addition, recruitment into the following occupations will be needed:

Electrical trades and installers – these are generally associated with the final fit-out phase of most construction projects once the main building work has been completed. Training provision within these trades is generally plentiful and geared towards both vocational and certification of operatives; as such it is not anticipated that this relatively high ARR should cause undue problems for the industry within the LEP.

Likewise Painters and Decorators are most in demand at the end of building projects. As one of the main four construction trades, training is generally readily available at FE colleges and private training providers across the country. It is also one of the few construction occupations to have relatively high demand from female applicants, so again there should be no shortage of supply across the LEP for this occupation.


41

Conclusions and recommendations Summary of Concluding Remarks

This section makes recommendations drawn from the demand and supply analysis and the requirement for any additional construction based provision that should be considered as part of the wider New Anglia Construction Action Plan.

The analysis of the labour demand arising from project spend in the New Anglia LEP peaks at around 39,000 people in 2016.

The tail off beyond this point is not likely to represent an actual drop off in construction activity but reflects projects that have not yet been identified. To project forward this cliff edge in construction activity we have produced an indication of how construction activity in the region (East Anglia) as a whole is forecast to change over the next five years. This shows a constantly increasing construction spend and activity rising to almost 40,000 by the end of the decade. These figures only represent the developments that are included in Glenigan, which will not necessarily capture all of the construction activity.

There will be significant construction activity across the repair and maintenance sector that is not captured as part of this detailed analysis but will impact demand. Equally ‘unknown’ projects that sit below the £250,000 value are not captured in the pipeline analysis but should potentially be considered as part of future demand. The scenario analysis produced at section 3.5 of this report demonstrates that the average construction workforce in New Anglia could rise to 96,350 in 2016.

The labour demand is split in roughly equal proportions between Norfolk and Suffolk.

In the short-term, construction activity in the area is dominated by housing, (for the peak year, 2016, more than 50% of the labour requirement is housing related) with public non-residential and infrastructure activity also comprising significant parts of the total spend, the latter mostly owing to offshore wind installations in Norfolk.

The largest occupational group is wood trades and interior fit out, with a large labour demand arising from non-manual occupations.

The analysis was extended to include the work planned for Sizewell C Nuclear New Build, commencing in 2021. The demand figures from NESA were used for the analysis and superimposed on the demand in the East of England region, assuming that for the years beyond 2019, a steady yearly increase of 0.9% will be observed in the employment, equal to the average yearly increase for the period 2015-2019 predicted by the CITB Construction Skills Network.

It shows that across the two counties the peak demand at Sizewell accounts for up to almost 10% of the rest of the workload. Should there be any changes in timescales to the works then the increased demand will be delayed.

Current construction workforce estimates for the East of England are just over 247,000 workers.

New Anglia LEP accounts for 24% of the East’s current construction employment (approx. 59,500 workers).

The recession impacted the East of England region significantly regarding its construction workforce (note this is measured by region and not LEP area) reaching a low in 2010 before recovery commenced, though it has still not reached its 2008 peak.


42

There is significant construction based opportunity in neighbouring LEP areas including Essex, Peterborough, Cambridgeshire and Lincolnshire. This heightens the risk of construction workers based in New Anglia commuting to other LEP areas for more attractive opportunities.

Within the LEP construction employment is fairly evenly spread between the counties of Norfolk and Suffolk (25,700 in Norfolk and 23,400 in Suffolk).

Construction businesses are also fairly evenly split between Norfolk and Suffolk with 3,885 in Norfolk and 3,485 in Suffolk, and the size profile of these employers is the same across both counties with the overwhelming majority (over 93%) being micro sized companies (0-9 employees) in both.

There were just under 5,600 Construction and Building Services Engineering learning aims delivered in the LEP area, accounting for 6.5% of the total number of learning aims in 2012/1319.

Twenty-eight training providers delivered construction relevant FE courses within the LEP area, with the six main providers delivering almost two-thirds (64%) of all FE Construction and Building Services Engineering learning.

55% of all construction workers in the East of England were working in the same region where their career started.

63% of construction workers in the East of England also live in the region with 37% travelling in from other areas.

When comparing demand with supply potential gaps exist in non-construction operatives, civil engineering operatives, specialist building operatives and also surveyors, glaziers, roofers, labourers and plant operatives are occupations to monitor.

Recommendations

Given the demand profile of projects within the pipeline in the New Anglia area and the pull that major projects will have on the pool of available suitability qualified labour there is a clear need for a dedicated Construction Action Plan underpinned by an Investment Plan that will enable the skills challenges to be acted on a regularly updated evidence base that will inform decision making. Feedback from stakeholders states that they want a partnership between the business community, client side and education providers.

Whilst the major project at Sizewell will have a significant impact there is considerable opportunity that sits outside of the project particularly in the housing sector, and this represents a real opportunity for the LEP to support business and education providers through a well-developed partnership approach as described in the dedicated Construction Action Plan above.

A number of risks need to be managed and mitigated, particularly regarding the peak demand levels next year. These include ensuring the local labour force can benefit from the opportunities materialising, ensuring skills gaps are addressed through training interventions in both the short and longer term and that curriculum across the area is well planned. Further strong links need to be formed between employers and educational providers at both HE and FE level to co-develop and co-design modules to support specialist learning relating directly to delivery. Whilst it is not possible to assess the exact skills gaps and shortages relating to unknown projects and repair & maintenance, the scenario produced suggests that New

19 Note: a leaner can have multiple learning aims depending upon the nature of the course learning.


43

Anglia will experience significant activity in this area and this heightens the need for a flexible and mobile workforce.

Occupations highlighted as having pinch-points should form part of an early action plan to assess what short-term interventions can be activated to address these concerns and identify funding that can be utilised to pump-prime short term training interventions.

Image and recruitment into the industry remains a constant issue. Given the demand profile for the LEP area it is vital that stakeholders work together to create a campaign to promote the construction industry and clear career pathways for all members of society to pursue a construction based career. This includes apprentices, graduates, the long term unemployed, adult returners and new entrants, regardless of ethnicity or gender.

Commission regularly updated Labour Market Intelligence (LMI) to provide an evidence base that supports decision making and demonstrates to tomorrow’s construction workers both the opportunities in construction in the pipeline and the future vision. Labour Market intelligence should be updated as least yearly.

Explore the opportunity to create a Shared Apprenticeship Scheme across the LEP area that can benefit from employer collaboration and the range of projects on the horizon.

Promote innovation through initiatives developed between employers and universities to understand the impact of technological change in the sector, particularly in relation to major projects.

Explore, with commissioning clients, how procurement good practice can drive employment and skills opportunities and influence the behaviour of suppliers to achieve greater social value.

Appendix A. Methodological note about the LFT The Labour Forecasting Tool (LFT) was used to develop a profile of estimated labour requirements in the LEP area. The tool creates a bottom up approach to skills forecasting by aggregating the employment from individual projects to create an area-specific profile. The Labour Forecasting Tool can predict labour requirements (i.e. number of operatives and managers) on a month-by-month and trade-by-trade basis given no more than the type of project, its value or gross floor area where appropriate, its location and its start and end dates. The LFT produces an indication of the total construction labour demand arising for that project. The labour for the project may or may not stem from within the immediate vicinity and in some cases (eg professionals) be based in another part of the country.

The projects analysed were assigned the most appropriate project model in the LFT’s database. For the scope of this analysis, the following models were used:

Housing

Public Non-residential

Private Commercial

Private Industrial

Housing R&M

Non-housing R&M

Airports

Biomass

Bridges

Flooding

Gas Transmission/distribution

General Infrastructure

Generation (Renewables - Offshore)

Construction employment is broken down into 28 occupation groups20.

The labour demand is shown in two ways:

1. Total Person Years – the total person years for each occupation required for the project. This output takes no account of the project duration which has been given in the original data. For instance if the total person years were 50, this means that if the project lasts for one year there would be 50 people employed for one year; if it lasted for two years then there would be an average of 25 people employed each year.

2. Peak workforce – this is the highest number of people involved with the construction process throughout the whole development. The month for which the peak occurs is also provided. It should be noted that the peak labour demand refers to the current “snapshot” of the scheduled development spend. It is prudent to expect that, should the investment in future years follow the same pattern, the peak demand figures are likely to be similar for future years, assuming the mix of projects remains consistent.

20 The employment profile is disaggregated by 28 occupational groups within the LFT. Details of these groups are given in Appendix B.
