Labour market data on Regional Snapshot includes information about employment and unemployment and how people work, together with summary details of earnings from ASHE.

 

Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings (ASHE) is conducted in April each year and includes details for local authority areas, males and females (full- and part-time) by broad industry groups.  Results are released for both workplace and residence based activity.  Data relating to April 2008 were released on 17 November 2008.

 

Local labour market statistical indicators

Statistics relating to the employment, unemployment and benefit dependency of the resident population of an area provide indicators of labour supply. These data are mainly from the annual Labour Force Survey and the Annual Population Survey.

Statistics relating to jobs and vacancies at workplaces in the area provide statistics of labour demand.
