Little Ouse Unemployment Statistics
Since the introduction of Universal Credit, The Department for Work & Pensions have not issued any statistics (in our view) that can be used to ascertain the levels of unemployment or under employment in the UK, just meaningless geographic counts. 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 West Suffolk.Area | Unemployed | Yearly Change |
---|
West Suffolk | 2.2% | -0.2% |
East of England | 3% | -0.3% |

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 Little Ouse.Economic Status | Proportion |
