Comparison between the earnings for those who live in the county and those who work in the county show that with the exception of Crawley and Adur resident earnings are higher. The biggest difference is in Mid Sussex where earnings for those living in Mid Sussex are, on average, £108 higher than for those working in the district. In Adur earnings for those working in the area are £13.5 than the earnings for residents and in Crawley earnings for those working in Crawley are £66 per week higher than earnings of residents; indeed Crawley has the highest level of workplace based earnings in West Sussex–indicating that local residents are not accessing local, more highly paid, and highly skilled jobs, though the workplace earnings have decreased over the year.
