Culture West Midlands has launched a new publication- Growing the Cultural Economy in the West Midlands.

The booklet has bought together, for the first time, evidence of the economic importance of the cultural sector. The results make good, and perhaps surprising, news for the region.

Culture accounts for-
- One in ten of all jobs in the region (236,000 cultural employees)
- One in seven of all regional businesses (over 25,000 cultural businesses)
12.5% of regional GVA (from a turnover of 18 billion pounds)

The West Midlands is-
- Experiencing the highest cultural sector rate of growth in England (4.8% between 2003 and 2004)
- Predicted to see a further 27% growth in culture and sport between 2004 - 2014, creating a further 63,000 jobs over this period.
