Finance Industry

Taken from the Most Recent Census of the Island, Jersey in 2011.

Jersey’s biggest industry is in Finance, with 25% of full time working adults being employed in that area. The decision to introduce new financial buildings in the area of St Helier is to cater for the increasing employment levels. I believe that by introducing all these massive financial buildings, that may be impressive to those that will use them, it destroys the history and culture already present.

The first thing tourists will see when they enter the island via a boat will be the distracting financial buildings along the waterfront. Do we really want people to view St Helier like everywhere else?
