Claimant Count
Product
Estimates of Claimant count unemployed (the number of people claiming unemployment related benefits) in the UK; the level (thousands) and as a percentage rate. Seasonally adjusted and not seasonally adjusted.
This dataset is based on Table 11 of the monthly Labour Market Statistics First Release.
Unadjusted claimant count and vacancies data are gathered from administrative sources and constitute a complete count. However, seasonally adjusted totals are presented as rounded to the nearest hundred to avoid spurious precision. Any differences between the sum of the rounded seasonally adjusted figures and the UK totals are due to this rounding.
