Minister's Economic Vision

The Good Jobs priority is about raising standards for all workers across Northern Ireland – whether through higher pay, contractual security, better work-life balance, or improved voice, support, security and representation in the workplace.

Increases in productivity are associated with higher wages and drive overall living standards.

A well-managed shift to a low-carbon economy can deliver inclusive growth, ensuring no one is left behind, and will be underpinned by a secure, affordable, and clean energy system that supports carbon emissions reductions and economic growth.

Everyone, no matter where they live, should have the same opportunity to earn a living.
