Public sector employment, UK: March 2020

Released: 16 June 2020 7:00am
Next release: 15 September 2020

Summary

Quarterly estimates on a headcount and full-time equivalent basis by sector industry and region.

The effects of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic on ONS capacity means we have had to suspend this bulletin until further notice. All data tables will continue to be available and any commentary will be added to the Vacancies and jobs bulletin.

This will protect the delivery and quality of our remaining outputs as well as ensuring we can respond to new demands as a direct result of COVID-19. More details about the impact on labour market outputs can be found in our statement.
