Annual Business Inquiry
• Collects data from a sample of businesses to generate estimatesof employee jobs by industry, geography, age gender, FT/PT, plusnumber of businesses by type
• Can be accessed through the ONS NOMIS site – need aChancellor of the Exchequer’s Notice
• Survey, not a census, so is sometimes inaccurate & always a littleimprecise
• Doesn’t include sole traders or self employed people (eg. selfemployed hairdressers or trades-people)
• Sample sizes at smaller geographies mean that confidenceintervals are large below local authority area level
• Has now become the Annual Business Survey and the BusinessRegister & Employment Survey (for 2009 data onwards)

Employment trends – South West

Employment trends – Bath & NESomerset
Probable inaccuracy,maybe in coding oflarge employer’spostcodes
• An unofficial measure of unemployment• Looks at the number of people able to fulfil certain criteria (ie.
those eligible for and claiming JSA), rather than the actualnumber of people who are unemployed and seeking work
• Records their sought occupations• Doesn’t count people out of work claiming other benefits or
unemployed people not eligible for JSA• Timely (monthly)• Official measure is ILO unemployment which almost always
runs higher• Can be accessed through the ONS NOMIS site – don’t need
a Chancellor of the Exchequer’s Notice• https://www.nomisweb.co.uk/Default.asp

Participation in education, employment& training by 16-18 year olds in England
• Department for Education statistical first release• Updated annually (latest = SFR 18/2010)• Official statistics for EET and NEET• Provides breakdowns by age, gender, mode of study, type of
learning, institution type (FE college, schools, etc)• Time series back to 1985• Available at local authority area level• Comes form a range of administrative data, including ILR, school
census etc. which is fuzzy matched to postcodes• Time lag – latest data is for 2008• An estimate, not a census• Two of the most common complaints are:
• Sometimes questionable denominators due to usingpopulation estimates as a base
• Quality of postcode data is sometimes not as good as youmight expect
• http://tiny.cc/6063d
Increasing participation at 17 – SouthWest
• Largest survey of England’s employers, their training & recruitmentpractices and skills needs
• A very large survey (80,000 employers in 2009) so isrepresentative
• Currently biennial – carried out in 2003, 2004, 2005, 2007 & 2009• 2009 survey was designed so as to be representative to local
authority area level• Data available regarding:
• Recruitment problems• Skills gaps• Training practices & expenditure• Skill updating needs• Recession• Product market strategies
• Previously ‘owned’ by the LSC, now with UKCES• As with ABI does not include sole traders or the self-employed• https://ness.ukces.org.uk/default.aspx
National Employer Skills Survey (NESS)
New for ‘09
South West employers’ opinions onyoung people’s readiness for work
• 25 year estimates of future populations• 2008-based, using 2008 mid-year population estimates• Breakdown available by 5 year age groups, gender, region, local
authority, local health authority areas• Further detail available on request to the ONS (eg. single year
ages, district authority level detail)• Projections are estimates so not gospel: nobody can tell the future• Some dispute from a number of local authorities as to accuracy –
rural authorities tend to agree with these more than urbanauthorities
• Local authorities often produce their own projections - both havetheir pros and cons
• We use ONS so as to apply a standard across the whole country• http://www.statistics.gov.uk/statbase/Product.asp?vlnk=997
