Article Abstract:
Yorkshire, England, has performed better in terms of economic growth than the UK as a whole. Consumer spending is higher since mortgages tend to be lower in terms of both debt and monthly payments. Sheffield aims to set up an airport for commuters. Employment growth has been seen in the financial services industry, and to a lesser extent in retailing, though jobs have been lost in manufacturing. Successful developments include a shopping complex between Rotherham and Sheffield called Meadowhall.

The regions' good road links to London have encouraged many in the service industries to relocate from the capital. The main commercial locations are Basingstoke, Portsmouth and Southampton. A growing industry is tourism, estimated to account for some 3% of total gross domestic product.
