These figures are usually updated once a month and are for Local Authority Districts and Unitary Authority Districts. So below are the figures of York.

However, it has to be noted that the Census day was during the height of the Covid19 pandemic and therefore are not reflective of normal levels of unemployment.

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 Copmanthorpe.
