Editor's Notes
- LFS = Labour Force Survey
- LFS = Labour Force Survey
- LFS = Labour Force Survey
- These numbers are from the Labour Force Survey โ lots of media discussion around the strong increase in self employment: e.g. http://www.theguardian.com/society/2014/may/06/self-employment-uk-job-figures-analysis
- Very topical!
- At the moment there is lots of interest in the increase in the number of people working in the UK who were born in Romania and Bulgaria as it is around 1 year since the barriers on immigration were lifted. But note: 1. These estimates are obviously based on smaller sample sizes than the UK headline figures so they cannot be as accurate. 2. The LFS does not set out to measure migration โ it only shows changes in the number of people in employment by country of birth, not the changes in the number of people migrating here.
- A positive picture again โ after divergence in recent years, earnings growth and the CPI are closing in on each other. This means that peopleโs earnings are growing at a similar rate to price increases. However, regular pay (earnings excluding bonuses) is still increasing at a slower rate than the cost of living.
- These are classed as โexperimental statisticsโ The numbers differ slightly from some of the headline numbers because all these figures are based on the population aged 16 to 64. It is a positive picture, overall there has been: A net increase in employment of 270 thousand people A net decrease in the number of inactive people, leading to an overall increase in the number of people in the UK labour force (all those employed and unemployed โ i.e. working or looking and available to work)
