Quarterly estimates on a headcount and full-time equivalent basis by sector industry and region.
The effects of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic on ONS capacity means we have had to suspend this bulletin until further notice. All data tables will continue to be available and any commentary will be added to the Vacancies and jobs bulletin.
This will protect the delivery and quality of our remaining outputs as well as ensuring we can respond to new demands as a direct result of COVID-19. More details about the impact on labour market outputs can be found in our statement.

Designation can be broadly interpreted to mean that the statistics:

- are produced according to sound methods
- are managed impartially and objectively in the public interest
Once statistics have been designated as National Statistics it is a statutory requirement that the Code of Practice shall continue to be observed.
