Number of jobs created and destroyed

You asked

Please provide statistics showing an estimation of the number of jobs created and the number of jobs destroyed annually for the last three years.

We said

Thank you for your Freedom of Information query regarding jobs created and jobs destroyed in the past three years.

Unfortunately we do not have this information. However, we publish estimates of workforce jobs (measuring the total number of filled jobs in the economy in a point in time) and the total number of people in employment.

These figures are available on our website at:

https://www.ons.gov.uk/employmentandlabourmarket/peopleinwork/employmentandemployeetypes/datasets/summaryoflabourmarketstatistics

Please see tab 1 for employment estimates and tab 5 for workforce jobs estimates.

In addition to these estimates, we produce estimates of labour market flows. These can be found at:
