[Although Coventry's not mentioned in this report, I've read a report that states that 18,000 private sector jobs have been lost in Coventry over the last 10 years and the city's economy is heavily reliant on the council, NHS and Two universities.]

Report here:In the same period in Birmingham, there were 80,900 more public sector jobs while private jobs fell by 55,000. In Manchester the public sector accounted for 59% of new jobs created.
