Quarterly Unemployment Bulletins

Claimant Count unemployment data is published on the middle Wednesday of each month.

Quarterly Unemployment Bulletins are more detailed than our Monthly Unemployment Bulletins, which are published elsewhere. Quarterly Bulletins contain information on Claimant Count Unemployment (the number of people claiming Job Seekers Allowance); the Claimant Count proportion (the percentage of the estimated population of working age resident in the area) with comparison to other regions, counties and unitary authorities close to Hertfordshire; numbers and age of Long Term Unemployed Claimants; numbers of Job Vacancies notified to Jobcentre Plus branches in the Hertfordshire Area (with analysis by Occupation and Industry types); Unemployment rate comparisons for the European Union and Claimant Counts for Parliamentary Constituencies and Towns in Hertfordshire.

The Revised Parliamentary Constituency Figures backdated from January 2001 to September 2003 are attached as an Appendix to the October 2003 Quarterly Unemployment Bulletin.

Tables giving Monthly unemployment from the Labour Force Survey provide the official unemployment rate at a National and Regional level.
