• 290,000 more Black and racially minoritised people in work, including 113,000 more Black Londoners, 64,000 more Black women and 62,000 more Bangladeshi and Pakistani women.
• A 16% increase in the Black and racially minoritised workforce, and a 6% increase in London’s total workforce.
• A potential £17.4bn boost to London’s economy through higher salaries.
