Abstract

On 15 October 2008, the Office for National Statistics published revised Labour Force Survey (LFS) aggregate estimates in the Labour Market Statistics First Release to take account of the latest available official population estimates. This article describes the new and revised population estimates and the time periods affected. This is supported by tables illustrating the changes at both the total level and by age group. An outline of the reasons for making the revisions and of the basic methodology is then followed by a summary of how the new population figures have impacted on the headline labour market indicators, that is, the measures of UK employment, unemployment and economic activity as derived from the LFS. This includes analysis of revisions arising from the updated seasonal adjustment of the time series. Analysis is also provided of the impact of the revisions to the population estimates by Government Office Region. Economic & Labour Market Review (2008) 2, 36–39; doi:10.1057/elmr.2008.170
