3.9 per 1,000 employees

2023 DEC-FEB

Payrolled employees in the UK fell by 18,000 (0.1%) between January and February 2024, but rose by 352,000 (1.2%) between February 2023 and February 2024.
The early estimate of payrolled employees for March 2024 decreased by 67,000 (0.2%) on the month but increased by 204,000 (0.7%) on the year to 30.3 million. The March 2024 estimate should be treated as a provisional estimate and is likely to be revised when more data are received next month.
Increased volatility of Labour Force Survey estimates, resulting from smaller achieved sample sizes, means that estimates of quarterly change should be treated with additional caution, and we recommend using them as part of our suite of labour market indicators, alongside Workforce Jobs, Claimant Count data, and Pay As You Earn (PAYE) Real Time Information (RTI) estimates.
