However, the Office of National Statistics does publish claimant counts of people receiving out of work benefits, be that legacy Jobseeker’s Allowance or Universal Credit as a proportion of people over 16. These figures are usually updated once a month and are for Local Authority Districts and Unitary Authority Districts. So below are the figures of Bath and North East Somerset.Area | Unemployed | Yearly Change |

Bath and North East Somerset | 1.8% | -0.5% |

This data also contains the proportion of people in part-time work (working between 1-35 hours per week), which maybe an indicator of under employment in Barrow Vale.Economic Status | Proportion |
