Labour market overview, UK: March 2024
What's in the bulletin?
- Payrolled employees in the UK rose by 15,000 (0.0%) between December 2023 and January 2024, and rose by 386,000 (1.3%) between January 2023 and January 2024. While the number of payrolled employees continues to increase, the rate of annual growth is decreasing.
- The early estimate of payrolled employees for February 2024 increased by 20,000 (0.1%) on the month and increased by 368,000 (1.2%) on the year to 30.4 million. The February 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 Real Time Information estimates.
