Movements between employment, unemployment and inactivity in the labour market.
This report contains charts that compare the Labour Force Survey (LFS) headline 3-month average rates for employment, unemployment and economic inactivity with their equivalent single month estimates. The single month estimates are derived from the same data source as the headline 3-month figures but are not designated as National Statistics and their use is restricted to helping to understand the movements in the headline 3-month averages.
This article follows a statistical methodology used by the International Labour Organisation (ILO) to compare how far the educational attainment of groups within the UK workforce differs from the average education level for their occupations. In the literature this is referred to as a type of skill mismatch.
Compares the latest Workforce Jobs (WFJ) estimates with the equivalent estimates of jobs from the Labour Force Survey (LFS).
These estimates of labour market flows are experimental statistics which have been produced as an aid to understanding the movements in the published Labour Force Survey aggregate estimates. They do not have National Statistics status and are not suitable as labour market indicators in their own right. The headline LFS estimates are published in the monthly Labour Market Statistical Bulletin.
