London is the “soft power” capital of the world, generating more high-skilled jobs and proving more internationally diverse than other major cities, according to Deloitte LLP.
Outpacing New York and five other cities, the U.K. capital created 235,000 new high-skill jobs since 2013 and now employs business leaders of 95 nationalities, a study released by the company on Wednesday showed. One disappointment will be that New York now has largest number of high-skilled financial services jobs.
