London leads world on 'highly skilled professionals'

London (with 1.5m such people) is followed by New York (1.2m), Los Angeles (0.8m), Hong Kong (0.6m) and Boston (0.4m). Deloitte is predicting the addition of at least another 100,000 such posts in London within the next seven years. However, Deloitte's London senior partner, Angus Knowles-Cutler, pointed to some challenges ahead: 'London has to address a number of fundamental challenges – for example, in infrastructure, housing and immigration – if we are to retain our lure as a destination for the world’s top talent.'
