    industry changes.

    heavy manufacturing and now it is mainly
    based on services.

    certain ‘seasons’.
    •For example tourism in the summer and
    shop work at Christmas.

    periods.

    industries. Last 40 years declined.
    • Mining – hundreds of mines in peak,
    2001 only one remained.
    • Expensive to operate (wages and
    manufacture) – cheaper abroad e.g.
    far east.
    • Structural unemployment = when
    economy is affected by the demise
    of an industry.
    • Cyclical Unemployment = booms and
    slumps from year to year depending
    on the economy.
    New Industries in Scotland
    • Electronics, computers
    and light industries have
    boomed in 1990s.

    • New technology has led


    to job cuts e.g.
    computers to file,
    robots to manufacture.

    • Central call centres.
