UK and HEA Nearest Equivalent Unemployment Rate Comparison
The Government’s preferred ILO definition from the ONS Labour Force Survey is not published
below the regional level. For a local comparison that provides the nearest equivalent statistic
there is the Annual Population Survey. This is published quarterly covering a 12 month period.
The dates in the charts refer to the LFS period not the APS.

Employment
Number Employment numbers were up on the quarter by 175,000 to reach 32.01 million. Annually,
employment is up by 324,000.
Rate The UK employment rate is 74.9% for the three months to May 2017, the joint highest on record. This
is up by 0.3 of a percentage point on the quarter, while the annual rate is up by 0.6 of a percentage point. For a local comparison, the nearest equivalent employment rate for the Hampshire Economic Area is 77.8% for the 12 months to March 2017, and 80.5% for the Hampshire County Council area.
Status Full-time employment increased on the quarter by 133,000 to 23.53 million, while part-time
employment is also up by 42,000 on the quarter to 8.48 million. The number of employees is up by 189,000 on the quarter to 27.03 million, while self-employment increased by 13,000 to 4.80 million. The number of unpaid family workers is down by 6,000 to 110,000, while the number on government supported training employment programmes is down by 21,000 to 72,000.
Pay and Inflation (Average Weekly Earnings and Consumer Price Index) • Latest estimates show that average weekly earnings for employees in Great Britain in real terms (that
is, adjusted for price inflation) fell by 0.7% including bonuses, and fell by 0.5% excluding bonuses, compared with a year earlier. In nominal terms (not adjusted for inflation), pay increased by 1.8% including bonuses, and by 2.0% excluding bonuses, compared with a year earlier. Pay is not keeping pace with inflation.
The Consumer Prices Index (CPI) 12-month rate was 2.9% in May 2017, up from 2.7% in April. This is the highest the rate has been in four years and above the Bank of England's 2% target. The fall in the value of the pound since last year's Brexit referendum has increased the cost of imports, with rising food prices, cost of foreign package holidays and imported computer games all contributing.
ILO unemployment (Government's preferred measure from the LFS Survey) Number National ILO unemployment numbers are down by 64,000 on the quarter to 1.49 million for the three
months to May 2017. On the year the number is down by 152,000.
Rate The national unemployment rate is 4.5% and the lowest since 1975; and down by 0.2 of a percentage
point on the quarter. The rate is down by 0.5 of a percentage point on the year. Locally, the nearest equivalent ILO unemployment rate for the Hampshire Economic Area for the 12 months to March2017 is 3.7% compared to 3.2% in the Hampshire County Council area.
Youth Unemployment Number and Rate Nationally, the number of 16 to 24 year olds out of work is up by 4,000 on the quarter to 562,000. The
rate for 16-24yrs is 12.5%. Locally, the nearest equivalent 16-24yrs unemployment rate for the Hampshire Economic Area is 11.3% for the 12 months to March 2017, and 9.8% for the Hampshire County area.
Economic Inactivity The UK working age economic inactivity rate stands at 21.5%, and down by 0.2 of a percentage point
on the quarter. The number of economically inactive people is down by 57,000 on the quarter to 8.83 million, and is down by 55,000 on the year. Locally, the nearest equivalent ILO Economic Inactivity rate for the Hampshire Economic Area is 19.0% for the 12 months to March 2017, and 16.8% for the Hampshire County Council area.

The International Labour Organisation’s (ILO) definitions are the Government’s preferred measure of labour market statistics, and taken as an estimate from the Labour Force Survey. A person is deemed to be unemployed if they are aged 16 and over who are without a job, want a job, have actively sought work in the last four weeks and are available to start work in the next two weeks; or are out of work, have found a job and are waiting to start it in the next two weeks. The Annual Population Survey modelled data for unemployment are used for the nearest equivalent ILO estimates for Local Authorities, although the two are not directly comparable. The ILO differs to the JSA claimant data, which is an actual count of those aged 16+ who are eligible and signed on as actively seeking work.

The ONS monthly claimant count numbers at this geographic level are seasonally unadjusted i.e. it does not factor in naturally occurring cycles in seasonal demand for labour. To compare on a like-for-like basis the same period in the previous year should be looked at to gauge if unemployment is better or worse. Please also note that as jobcentres move to full-service changes to the those counted under Universal Credit is wider and this will increase claimant counts independently of labour market conditions. This has affected Southampton (Full-service February 2017) and will begin to affect Eastleigh (Full-service July 2017). Other Hampshire authorities will transition to Full-service during 2018.

There are several methods used to record young people who are considered to be not in education, employment or training. The three primary sources come from the annual Participation in Education, Training and Employment First Release, the Quarterly NEETS derived from the Labour Force Survey, and from local authority Client Caseload Information Systems (CCIS) as an annual adjusted average published by the Department for Education. Local Authority CCIS data is captured monthly. How to interpret the local monthly adjusted NEET data can be found on Page 20. The three sources are not comparable.

Labour Force Survey (LFS)/Annual Population Survey (APS) definitions Economically Active: People aged 16 and over who are either in employment or unemployed. The Economically active rate is the percentage of people aged 16 and over who are economically active. Employment: People aged 16 or over who did paid work in the reference week (whether employed or self-employed); those who had a job that they were temporarily away from; those on government supported training and employment programmes; and those doing unpaid family work (a person who works without pay in an economic enterprise operated by a related person living in the same household). The rate is the percentage of total in employment of all people in the relevant age group. ILO Unemployment: All people aged 16 and over who are:
without a job, want a job,
have actively sought work in the last four weeks and are available to start work in the next two weeks;
or are out of work, have found a job and are waiting to start it in the next two weeks. The unemployment rate is the proportion of the economically active who are unemployed. Economically Inactive: People who are neither in employment nor unemployed. This group includes, for example,
those looking after the family and/or home
Long term ill
Students
or retired. The inactive rate is expressed as a percentage of the total population aged 16 and over, but can be calculated for an population group, such as those of working age. Department for Work and Pensions definitions (New) Claimant Count: Based on the administrative records of people claiming unemployed benefits. Since November 2015 this has been the number of people previously claiming Jobseeker's Allowance (JSA) and new or transferred unemployed claimants on Universal Credit. The claimant count consists of all people claiming JSA+UC at Jobcentre Plus local offices. They must declare that they are out of work, capable of, available for and actively seeking work during the week in which their claim is made. Nationally and regionally, the claimant rate is the number of claimants resident in an area expressed as a percentage of the sum of claimants and workforce jobs in the area (mid-year estimates are used). Sub-regionally, the claimant count is the number of claimants resident in an area expressed as a proportion of the resident population of working age. As at August 2010 working age is now 16-64 for both females and males. Worklessness: Benefits that are paid to client groups subject to labour market activation policies, including: Jobseeker's Allowance (JSA); Employment Support Allowance (ESA) or Incapacity Benefit (IB); Lone parent; and Income support (IS). Sought occupations: are the types of occupations claimants are seeking when they register.

Interpreting Local Actual NEET data
Local NEET data follows a common pattern over the course of an academic year, with spikes occurring naturally each September. Young people are in transition over this period and school/college destination records not returned and recorded until October. Thereafter, rates and levels are fairly stable to August. As of September 2016 the NEET are limited to just years 12 and 13 rather than years 12-14 as before. • Local authorities will only be required to include information about young people up to the end of the academic year in which they have their 18th birthday (academic age 16 and 17). Authorities will no longer be required to track young people of academic age 18. From September 2016 the DfE will no longer publish local authority statistics about academic age 18-year-olds. – The DfE will continue to publish annual LA NEET statistics, but these will only cover academic age 16 and 17-year-olds and not academic age 18-year-olds. The NEET figure will be the Actual NEET rather then the Adjusted NEET previously published. The data is not comparable to previous NEET figures and time series will resume in November 2017 with the publication September 2017 NEET.
