Number of Jobseeker's Allowance benefit claimant households
(5598)
Metric type
- Help text
- This is the number of households where one or more persons claimed Jobseeker?s Allowance at 31st May each year.
Jobseeker?s Allowance (JSA) was introduced on 7 October 1996. It replaced Unemployment Benefit and Income Support for unemployed people and brought them together in a unified benefit with two routes of entry. It can be claimed by people who
are available for and actively seeking employment, including those in remunerative work for less than 16 hours a week on average, and by people on a government approved training scheme.
These statistics have been derived from DWP out-of-work benefit data.
Data are rounded to the nearest ten for larger geographical areas. For smaller geographies such as Ward and Lower Layer Super Output Area, figures are independently rounded to five. Totals may not sum due to rounding.
