Introduction to the Sector Data Pack
The role of the Sector Data Pack is to bring together the latest socio-economic and labour market data and present both an up-to-date, and
future view, of the sector and any underlying issues within the area that could impact upon it. Data is presented in a navigable format without
comment with interpretation at this stage left to the reader
The Data Pack informs the Sector Evidence Report, the key findings from which help to inform the priorities developed in the Sector Skills Plan.
The Sector Evidence Report is also summarised within the Sector Skills Plan and appears in full in the its appendices.
In most instances data has been analysed and presented down to local authority level. In some instances, and even where local authority data
is available, it has not been presented in the data pack due to issues of unreliability and small sample sizes. This is particularly the case with
data from the Annual Population Survey and the Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings.
Introduction to and Definition of the Energy Sector
New Anglia’s Energy Sector is internationally significant, with major operational energy infrastructure assets and planned infrastructure
development across the key industries of Offshore Wind, Oil and Gas, Nuclear and Low Carbon Renewable Energy.
The unique combination of geographical phenomena, established, deep rooted expertise and investment spanning over 50 years- has helped
shape a world leading energy presence. At an aggregate level New Anglia’s combined energy output plays a pivotal role in securing the UK’s
ongoing energy demands; an output that is set to grow significantly throughout the 21st century. Furthermore, the combination of development,
expansion of existing assets and decommissioning programmes- draws together a sector of significant economic value and market opportunity;
supported by extensive, high quality, supply chains.
For the purposes of this work we have agreed with the New Anglia LEP to follow their existing definition of the Energy sector, as detailed within
the current Strategic Economic Plan (SEP) (2017). This definition focuses on the core elements of activity - oil, gas, offshore wind, onshore
wind and renewable technologies and nuclear.

Location quotients (LQs) are a
useful way of showing a sectors
importance to the local economy
relative to the national picture. The
analysis presented here uses
employment with an LQ above 1
showing a higher concentration than
nationally, and an LQ of below than
1 a lower concentration.

FE Learning
Aims
All data (unless stated otherwise) is sourced from the Department for Education’s Further Education data library
In order to present information that is relevant to New Anglia LEPs high performing and underpinning sectors then we have
identified FE and skills provision data split by Sector Lead Body and aligned a best-fit with each sector.
The Sector Lead Bodies identified as being the most relevant to the Energy sector are: Chemicals, Life sciences, Pharmaceuticals, Nuclear,
Oil, Gas, Petroleum, Polymer; Energy & Utility; and Engineering Construction Industry.
However, not all FE and Skills learning aims align with a sector lead body. In fact, on average around two thirds are classed as unknown. This
means that we are basing results here on roughly a third of the data.
Please note that all data is rounded to the nearest 10 and that therefore some figures presented may not add to the sum totals presented.

Labour Insight
Jobs
The following section presents data from Labour Insight, a Burning Glass analytical tool. This tool collects details of online job
postings from multiple sources and enables the analysis of these postings based on specific skills, educational requirements,
and job titles, for example.
Please note that whilst Labour Insight will capture more information on the jobs market than more traditional Department for
Work and Pensions vacancy data, the fact that not all job vacancies are advertised means that there will still be gaps in the
findings.
According to the Labour Insight Jobs tool, then there were 1,654 postings for the sector in New Anglia between Jan. 1, 2012
and Dec. 31, 2016.
The definition for the Energy sector in this exercise is wider than that we have defined using SIC codes (and is in fact in line
with that used to approximate GVA for the sector) but it still provides us with some useful information on vacancy numbers and
types.
The definition used in this exercise captures the following industry and sectors: ‘Mining and Quarrying’, and ‘Electricity, Gas,
Steam, and Air Conditioning supply’.

Where the
Work is
The following analysis makes use of data and findings available via the online toolkit http://wheretheworkis.org/ . The findings presented
are a result of combining data from the UKCES ‘Working Futures’ programme and job vacancy data from the Labour Market Insight tool
developed by Burning Glass.
Limitations
Though the ‘Where the work is’ tool provides the a comprehensive and detailed free-to-use dashboard of supply and demand in the UK, the
following limitations should be taken into account when interpreting the data:
- Senior Management and Elementary roles
Occupations not open to recent HR graduates or FE finishers are not considered. Similarly, occupations that do not require an y formal
qualifications or training are also excluded from this tool, since the number of job-seekers cannot be meaningfully quantified.
- Matching supply and demand
Some occupations do not have specific qualifications or subject-specific requirements (such as sales, marketing and related associate
professionals). As a result of this, and despite the fact that many people with a broad range of qualifications can apply for these occupations,
they frequently appear ‘undersupplied’ in the tool, i.e. when the “job opportunity” is low. Occupations with very small sample sizes (either of
finishers or job postings) are excluded from the dataset.
- Internal and international migration
Some occupations do not rely solely on FE finishers or HE graduates from their immediate location. Many people travel to find work, often
moving across the country. Other occupations, such as those on the Migration Advisory Committee’s shortage occupation list, m ay rely more
heavily on jobseekers arriving from outside the UK.
- Online and offline postings
Burning Glass Technologies (BGT) acknowledge that not all jobs are posted online, although a comparison of the Annual Survey of Hours and
Earnings (ASHE) employment data and BGT postings data for UK in 2014 showed a 94 per cent correlation between ASHE and BGT
occupational distributions. The BGT posting data slightly overestimate the proportion of professional and associate professional occup ations,
while slightly underestimating the proportion of elementary occupations.

A Future View of the
Energy Sector
59
The following analysis uses data from the East of England Forecasting Model (EEFM) and the UKCES Working Futures data
(WF). In each case an Energy sector has been approximated from the sector splits available in each model. In the case of the
East of England Forecasting Model then ‘Mining & Quarrying’, ‘Utilities’, and ‘Waste & Remediation’ have been summed to
produce a definition of the Energy sector. For the Working Futures data, ‘Mining & Quarrying’, ‘Electricity & Gas’, and ‘Water &
Sewerage’ have been summed.
Please note that neither model, or the forecasts they produce, take into account the New Anglia LEPs ambitions for growth in
Gross Value Added (GVA) and employment.

Appendix 1 - Energy sector definition
The following five digit SIC codes are being used to measure levels of, and change in, both employment and business numbers in the sector.
Please note that multipliers have been applied to those SIC codes under ‘Maritime support services (excl. distribution) and ‘Logistical support
and distribution activities (excl. mains and pipelines) in order to only capture the elements of these activities that directly relate to the energy
sector. This is in line with the methodology used to define the sector in the New Anglia Local Economic Strategy evidence base work.
