Luckily, I can explain. Scottish workers are more productive, so we don’t need as many as they do in most other parts of the UK. It’s true. See this:
The East Midlands is the lowest for general productivity at 84.7% of the UK average while only hyper-stimulated and subsidised London is higher, at 128.6%. However, London’s manufacturing productivity, at 105.6%, is lower than that of Scotland.

Talking-up Scotland 'Albatraz' 
The son of Eddie Stobart?, wondering if it’s a made up name.
Why has BBC Scotland’s lead news article of the day been the tragic death of Kobe Bryant and his daughter. Big star that he obviously was he was relativelly unknown in Scotland. Not only lead news article, lead Sports story. John Beattie has just spent 15 mins covering this. Radio 4 lead with Corona virus.

Quick scan on the web and between 2007 and 2018 England’s population grew by 4.6million whereas Scotland’s only grew by 168 thousand. A rather salient point re number of jobs ‘created’.
