Workers in the West of England Combined Authority area - Bristol, Bath and North East Somerset, and South Gloucestershire - are the most likely in Britain to have a 'quality' job, new data reveals.
The analysis by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) looked at the proportion of people working 48 hours or fewer a week, those on low pay, and the proportion with a "desired contract".
When combined, those figures found 76.1 per cent of workers in the Weca area had a quality job - higher than any other combined authority in the country. Only 5.7 per cent of workers in the region had low pay.
Some 82.9 per cent worked satisfactory hours, while 99 per cent had a satisfactory contract type. And women (78.5 per cent) were more likely than men (73.8 per cent) to have quality jobs.
Just 60 per cent of elementary jobs in the West of England were classed as quality, compared to 82.3 per cent of professional jobs such as law, teaching and medicine.
Glasgow was second best at 75.2 per cent, while London was around the middle of the table with 72.7 per cent.
In contrast, only 68.8 per cent of workers in Sheffield and 68.7 per cent in Swansea had quality jobs.
The ONS analysis is based on data from the Annual Population Survey - a mass survey of workers across the country that aks them questions about their job.
A "desired contract" was either a permanent one (or some other form of contract if the employee hadn鈥檛 sought a permanent one), while "low pay" was calculated as less than two-thirds the national average hourly wage.
Only 31.2 per cent of those aged 16 to 20 had a quality job, according to the survery.
And while the figure was 77 per cent for all those born in the 海角视频, that dropped to 65.3 per cent for those born in another EU country.
The ONS cautioned that its definition of a 鈥渜uality鈥 job was 鈥渘arrow, and should not be thought of as definitive鈥.
But it added: 鈥淭he composite is a useful indicator to monitor the direction of quality jobs by area.鈥
