Pretty sure when I was at uni I read some research that showed that a Birmingham accent had the most negative associations in relation to employment prospects.
IDK if it controlled for the fake NI accent they use when speaking to outsiders.
As csb bit of antidata, when my Grandad with a broad regional accent enlisted, he initially tried to become an officer and the officer interviewing him said they'd have to do something about his accent. His retort was that was the sort of reason he was volunteering to fight the Nazis. He didn't get a second interview.
