Unemployment rate (aged 16+) - WMCA

This is the proportion of the population aged 16 and over who are unemployed as a percentage of the economically active population. Economically active are people aged 16 and over who are employed or unemployed. Unemployed refers to people without a job who were available to start work in the two weeks following their interview and who had either looked for work in the four weeks prior to interview or were waiting to start a job they had already obtained. 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. 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.Data is Powered by LG Inform Plus and automatically checked for new data on the 3rd of each month.

本数据集反映了16岁及以上人口中失业者占经济活跃人口的百分比。经济活跃人口指16岁及以上已就业或失业的人群。失业者指在访谈后的两周内可开始工作且在此前的四周内曾寻找工作或正等待开始其已获得的工作的人。尽管数据源为滚动年度调查，且每季度更新一次，但在进行有效比较时，应将特定12个月的数据与之前年份的对应12个月数据进行对比。区县级和单一管理区的数据通常并非直接来源于年度人口调查，而是由国家统计局提供的相关模型估计数据，这些数据具有较高的准确性。数据由LG Inform Plus提供支持，并自动于每月第三日检查新数据。
