About these estimates

These estimates are derived from the Labour Force Survey (LFS) and Annual Population Survey (APS), which have moved from Official Statistics in Development to Official Statistics. Since late 2023, ONS has introduced improvements to survey collection, sampling and weighting methods, helping to improve response levels and data quality. Further information on the strengths, limitations and appropriate uses of these data is available in the Labour Force Survey quality and methodology information (QMI).

Updates to this indicator have been temporarily suspended until the APS reweighting is implemented in 2027.
