Statistics relating to people's activity in the workplace feature in the national and local news media almost every day. The latest indicators of employment, unemployment and earnings are followed closely by analysts for what they reveal about the state of UK society and the economy.

Labour Market Review provides an ideal reference source for anyone who has an interest in using ONS's labour market statistics to gain insights into an important aspect of life in the UK in the 21st century.

Launched with this publication is ONS's Guide to Labour Market Statistics. The online guide provides a comprehensive reference source for all aspects of labour market statistics. It follows the framework, described in the Labour Market Review, which has been adopted by ONS for the analysis and presentation of labour market statistics sources and outputs.
