GLA Claimant Count Model Output

The percentage of the economically active population who are claiming Job Seekers Allowance (JSA).

Output from the GLA claimant count model which uses administrative counts of Job Seekers and expresses them as a percentage of the labour force using GLA projections of the economically active population. Designed to complement ONS claimant count rates which use the whole population as the denominator.

As of May 2015 data, the definitions of the official claimant count data have changed. The national and regional reported figures include all claimants of Universal Credit who are not in employment (including those not subject to work related criteria).However, comparable data are not available by age and duration and have not been published at lower geographical levels. Therefore these rates continue to use JSA only Claimant Count data.
