- Estimates for payrolled employees in the UK decreased by 55,000 (0.2%) between March and April 2025 and fell by 115,000 (0.4%) between April 2024 and April 2025.
- When looking at February to April 2025, the period comparable with our Labour Force Survey (LFS) estimates, payrolled employees fell by 78,000 (0.3%) over the quarter and fell by 51,000 (0.2%) over the year.
- The early estimate of payrolled employees for May 2025 decreased by 109,000 (0.4%) on the month and decreased by 274,000 (0.9%) on the year to 30.2 million. Early estimates are subject to significant revisions as more returns are received by HMRC next month. The earlier timing of the data extract for May 2025 means these estimates are more uncertain than usual. Additional caution is needed in interpreting these earlier estimates.
