The LFS is a data source compiled from a survey of the UK population. It uses internationally recognised definitions of employment, unemployment and economic activity. It also captures other personal characteristics of household members over the age of 16 such as occupation, education and training. The LFS reflects only a sample of the total population. All cases are therefore weighted on the basis of sub-national population totals by age and sex to give estimates for the entire UK household population. Labour Force Survey estimates have been reweighted for periods from July to September 2022; headline UK seasonally adjusted series prior to this have been modelled, but other series have a discontinuity at this point.
