In the last two years, degree holders here have found themselves the most vulnerable to losing their jobs, among all qualification groups.
Since 2011, they have also made up a higher proportion of residents made redundant than among all resident workers.
Experts suggested three reasons for this - jobs lost in restructuring tending to be held by graduates, greater demand for non-academic skills, and substitution by skilled foreign labour.
