Arts, Sports & Tourism Occupations
Employment growth was below average for this occupational group; employment levels fell due to the COVID-19 pandemic but have increased annually since. Three fifths of those employed were female, with a higher than average share working in part-time roles. Over half of employment was concentrated in the other NACE activities sector (which includes arts, entertainment and other services) with a further 22% employed in the ICT and professional activities sectors combined. Those employed in services roles were likely impacted by the higher cost of living in recent years but should benefit from expected increases in real income in the short- to medium term.
