About these estimates

Calculation of employment rate: number of employed people aged 16 to 64 years divided by the population aged 16 to 64 years. Population is the sum of employed plus unemployed plus inactive.

Time series data is available at NISRA.

Because the Labour Force Survey (LFS) is a sample survey, results are subject to sampling error, i.e. the actual percentage of the population in private households with a particular characteristic may differ from the percentage of the LFS sample with that characteristic.

Updates to this indicator have been temporarily suspended until the APS reweighting is implemented in 2027.
