Scotland's nuclear energy sector has seen minimal job growth compared to England, raising concerns about missed economic opportunities. The Nuclear Industry Association highlights a 5% increase in Scotland's nuclear workforce versus a 13% rise in England.

Calls for a policy shift emphasize the potential for job creation and investment in new nuclear projects, while the Scottish government continues to prioritize renewable energy. Critics argue that rejecting nuclear power limits job prospects in the sector, although Scotland's renewable initiatives present alternative opportunities for economic development.
