London’s Economic Outlook is GLA Economics’ London forecast. The forecasts are issued every six months to assist those preparing planning projections for London in the medium term. The report contains the following: An overview of recent economic conditions in London, the UK and the world economies with analysis of important events, trends and risks to short and medium-term growth. The ‘consensus forecast’ – a review of independent forecasts indicating the range of views about London’s economy and the possible upside and downside risk. In this context, ‘consensus forecast’ refers to the average of the independent forecasters (Cambridge Econometrics, The Centre for Economic and Business Research, Experian Economics, and Oxford Economics) The GLA Economics forecast for output, employment, household expenditure and household income in London. Provided below are links to the current and previous versions of GLA Economics' medium term forecast for the level and growth rate of London's GVA, employment, household income and household expenditure. Forecasts for the growth and level of employment and GVA for selected sectors of the economy are also included. All output variables are measured in terms of output at basic prices. The price base for the latest dataset is 2011. All growth rates are in percentage change per annum. All employment levels are in millions. All output levels are in £bn.

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. Please refer to the accompanying notes for further information. For more information contact: melisa.wickham@london.gov.uk

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.

Areas identified in the London Plan Consultation 2009 as having significant potential for increases in residential, employment and other uses through development of sites at higher densities with more mixed and intensive use but at a level below that which can be achieved in the Opportunity Areas. Each area is represented as a point. This data is subject to change and should be checked with the relevant Local Authority before use. Click here to visit the London Plan pages

More Detailed Jobs This dataset provides estimates of employee jobs in London down to 4-digit Standard Industry Classification level, from 1998 to 2022. The latest release was in July 2024 - see the related blog post. Estimates are based on Business Register and Employment Survey (BRES) and Workforce Jobs (WFJ) data published by the Office for National Statistics (ONS). The underlying assumptions are outlined in the methodology paper published alongside these data tables. Note that the 2014 and 2015 updates were republished (in March 2018) following additional disclosure checking.

A London series by industry and a borough series (no industry) 1984 to 2011.

London Employment Jobs: a London level series which includes Employee Jobs and Self-Employment Jobs from 1984 to 2010 with industries by GLA Economics sectors on a SIC 2007 basis 2.

In January 2022 the Mayor published his Skills Roadmap for London. The Roadmap sets the direction of travel for adult education in London over the Mayoral term and beyond, including future plans for the approximately £320 million per year Adult Education Budget (AEB). The Roadmap was developed based on extensive consultation with stakeholders, communities and businesses. The GLA engaged over 100 organisations through a written consultation and stakeholder roundtables, including local authorities, learning providers and employers and businesses. The GLA also captured the views of almost 1000 Londoners from key target groups through community conversations hosted by community organisations across London. The GLA also produced an Equality Impact Assessment alongside the final Skills Roadmap to show how equality groups and equalities impacts were considered in the development of the Roadmap (Equality groups are groups who share a protected characteristic under the Equality Act 2010.)
