FOCUSONLONDON2011:LABOURMARKET:BEYONDHEADLINES In 2009, the overall proportion of the London working-age population who were in work was around two percentage points below the UK figure but this does not begin to tell the story of London’s labour market. London is a complex city of extremes with significant differences between various sub-groups of population. It is important to understand which groups are doing well and those doing poorly. This report, authored by Gareth Piggott in the Intelligence Unit, aims to shed light on some of the complexities of London’s labour market, beyond headline findings. It looks at employment rates and pay for different groups within the population and compares London with other regions and the UK average. REPORT: Read the report in PDF format. PRESENTATION: What factors influence a Londoner’s pay and probability of employment? This interactive presentation finds the answer to this question.

This dataset provides experimental estimates of borough-by-sector employee jobs in London. It provides a time series consistent with ONS Workforce Jobs data where this would not otherwise be available. The latest workbook provides employee jobs estimates for the period 1971-2022. The estimates are modelled from Business Register and Employment Survey (BRES) and Workforce Jobs (WFJ) data published by the Office for National Statistics (ONS). The methodology is summarised in the ‘cover’ sheet of the latest xlsx workbook. A csv datafile is also provided.

Two years after the UK recession ended in the final quarter of 2009, came a decrease in GDP in the final quarter of 2011 and the first quarter of 2012, signifying an official “double dip” recession. This Update looks at key labour market indicators since the beginning of the recession period in 2008. It presents the latest national and London figures of those claiming Jobseekers’ Allowance (JSA), known as the claimant count, and also shows the official unemployment measure: the International Labour Organisation (ILO) definition, which is derived from the Labour Force Survey. It gives some detail on the geography and characteristics of those looking for work. In addition, it gives figures for employment levels.

Percentage of respondents in work earning less than the London Living Wage (LLW) taken from the ONS Annual Survey of Hours and Earning (ASHE). Data is provided by whether the employee is male or female and works full-time or part-time. Data is also provided by borough. Also includes employees earning below the UK Living Wage by region outside London. The minimum wage levels in each year are stated in the table.

This dataset estimate the number and percentage of jobs held by EEA born workers earning less than £30,000 per year in 2017 by industry in London. The total number of jobs in London broken down by industry section (SIC2007), and the percentage held by those born in the European Economic Area (EEA), from the Annual Population Survey (APS) 2017. The data this is based on can be found here. The percentage of employee jobs paying less than £30,000 per year broken down by industry section (SIC2007) for London from the Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings (ASHE) 2017 (provisional). The data this is based on can be found here. Indicative estimates of the total number and percentage of jobs which are held by EEA born workers and paying below £30,000 per year based on GLA Economics calculations. The GLA Economics estimated percentages of EEA workers earning less than £30,000 per year by industry group have been calculated by applying the share of jobs held by EEA workers in each industry (from APS) to the percentage of employee jobs paying less than £30,000 per year (from ASHE). The numbers are calculated by applying this to estimates of total jobs in each industry (APS). Please be aware: these estimates have been produced with restrictions on data availability and are based on a number of simplifying assumptions. As such, these should only be regarded as rough estimates of the number and share of jobs in London which are held by workers born in the EEA and are likely to be paying below £30,000 per year. The estimates should, therefore, be used with caution. For example, the methodology implicitly assumes that the percentage of employee jobs paid below £30,000 is the same for employee and self-employed jobs and for EEA and non-EEA workers, as well as for jobs held for less than one year.
