Labour Force Survey (LFS) estimates published on 14 December 2005 have been revised to reflect the latest revisions to population data.
On 20 October 2005 the Government Actuaries Department (GAD) published the population projections for the UK and constituent countries for 2005 onwards. When incorporated into the LFS estimates, these new population estimates have resulted in upward revisions to the LFS population, from the three months starting July to September 2004.
The combined revisions are generally small. The largest revisions to levels affecting estimates of economic activity are around +2,000 to +28,000, with an average revision of +16,000. Revisions to employment, unemployment, activity and inactivity rates are very small, with changes to published rates not exceeding +/-0.01.
