Employment per Quarter - Plymouth 2004 - 2016

This data has been taken from LGInform http://lginform.local.gov.uk/ data reference ID ID:49 Overall employment rate (working-age) in Plymouth

Overall employment rate (working-age) - This is the proportion of the working age population (16-59 for females and 16-64 for males) who are in employment according to the International Labour Organisation (ILO) definition. While the source is a rolling annual survey updated quarterly, a given 12-month period should be compared to the matching 12-month period in previous years to obtain valid comparisons.

This was previously reported as NI 151. The data for district and unitary authorities is generally taken not directly from the Annual Population Survey but from associated modelled estimates produced by the Office for National Statistics, which provide greater accuracy.
