More than 50% of the sector, including both job opportunities and overall revenue, is based in London. Other popular areas for employment in this sector include Leeds and Bristol. There are just over one million people working in financial services today, and the sector has seen significant growth since the late 1990s. This growth is projected to continue in years to come.
