Combined CS jobs forecast is 38% higher than EEFM August 2013 data across Ipswich, Babergh, Suffolk Coastal and Mid-Suffolk, suggesting each authority's job targets may be unrealistic in relation to the aggregate potential. The disparity mainly comes from the Babergh/Mid-Suffolk forecast against that of EEFM. Babergh says the disparity is because of the need for jobs serving Ipswich which has insufficient space to provide them itself but this is not reflected in Ipswich CS jobs growth figures and suggest double counting and doubts about 'close working' between authorities.
