Employment in the UK: March 2021
What's in the bulletin?
- November 2020 to January 2021 estimates show a smaller increase in the unemployment rate than recent increases, while the economic inactivity rate increased, as it did during the first coronavirus restrictions, and the employment rate continued to fall.
- Although total hours worked continued to increase from the low levels in the previous quarter, the increase slowed in the latest quarter, with evidence suggesting a decrease towards the end of the period because of the impact of coronavirus restrictions.
- The UK employment rate was estimated at 75.0%, 1.5 percentage points lower than a year earlier and 0.3 percentage points lower than the previous quarter.
