We said
Thank you for your Freedom of Information request regarding vacancies estimates.
Unfortunately, we do not hold all the information you have requested.
We only compile vacancies estimates at section level. Therefore, we do not hold estimates on a regional basis.
You can find our dataset of vacancies by standard industrial classification (2007) section in VACS02: Vacancies by industry.
For the number of unemployed people per vacancy, we only compile total estimates. Therefore, we do not hold estimates on a regional and age basis.
You can find our dataset of unemployed people per vacancy in VACS01: Vacancies and unemployment.
Additionally, you can find our dataset of unemployment by age in A05 SA: Employment, unemployment and economic inactivity by age group (seasonally adjusted).
