Changes to this release date

  1. Previous date

    16 June 2026 7:00am

    Reason for change

    The June 2026 labour market publication is delayed from Tuesday 16 June to Thursday 18 June as requested by Scottish Government because of a national bank holiday in Scotland on Monday 15 June. This in line with our statement on changing the release dates of ONS statistics to avoid public holidays published in March 2020.

About the data

Accredited Official Statistics

These are accredited official statistics. They have been independently reviewed by the Office for Statistics Regulation (OSR) and found to comply with the standards of trustworthiness, quality and value in the Code of Practice for Statistics. This broadly means that the statistics:

  • meet user needs
  • are presented clearly and accessibly
  • are produced using appropriate data and sound methods
  • are managed impartially and objectively in the public interest

Pre-release access list

The phrase 'Pre-release Access' refers to the practice whereby official statistics in their final form, and any accompanying written commentary, are made available to an eligible person in advance of their publication. The rules and principles which govern pre-release access are featured within the Pre-release Access to Official Statistics Order 2008.
