Population - Number of people of working age who are unemployed (510) Metric type
- Help text
- This is the total number of the population aged 16 to 64 who are unemployed. Economically active are people aged 16 and over who are employed or unemployed. Unemployed refers to people without a job who were available to start work in the two weeks following their interview and who had either looked for work in the four weeks prior to interview or were waiting to start a job they had already obtained.
While the source is a rolling annual survey updated quarterly, a given 12-month period should be compared to the matching 12-month period in previous years to obtain valid comparisons. The data for district and unitary authorities is generally taken not directly from the Annual Population Survey but from associated modelled estimates produced by the Office for National Statistics, which provide greater accuracy.
Estimate may not be available where the sample size is zero or disclosive (0-2) or unreliable since the group sample size is small (3-9).
