Provides files to download data as it existed for this dataset on previous dates.

Statistics are most often revised for 1 of 2 reasons:

  1. For certain statistics initial estimates are released with the expectation that these may be revised and updated as further data becomes available.
  2. Revisions may also be made when methods or systems are changed.

These types of planned revisions should not be confused with errors in released statistics, which are genuine mistakes. Such mistakes occur rarely and, when they do happen, corrections are made in a timely manner, announced and clearly explained to users in line with the Code of Practice for Official Statistics (Principle 2, Practice 7).

The previous version of these tables did not include a control variable for economic status. All models included this variable, so it has now been included. The previous version of tables 12-16 did not include missing/inapplicable categories for the duration out of work variable, and the ever had a paid job variable. Where applicable, these categories have now been included. We have corrected an error in Table 8, 'Enabling and disabling factors of the likelihood of returning to employment in the next quarter, Wales only'. The previous version included odds ratios with incorrect significance labels. These have now been amended. Finally we also corrected errors in Table 3, 5, 9 and 10. The previous version included incorrect values which were out by +/-0.01 mostly. These have now been amended. These errors happened because of human error.
