Around 1,400 jobs in oil and gas based in Aberdeen are expected to be lost in the next three years, according to a new report.
Professional services firm EY has issued a 2019 forecast for Scottish economic growth.
The report states that employment in Aberdeen is expected to fall by an average of 0.1% annually between 2018 and 2021, with oil and gas being the “hardest-hit” sector.
EY estimates 1,400 jobs will be lost in the sector within that period.
