• UK Labour Market: February 2016

  These estimates of labour market flows are experimental statistics which have been produced as an aid to understanding the movements in the published Labour Force Survey aggregate estimates. They do not have National Statistics status and are not suitable as labour market indicators in their own right. The headline LFS estimates are published in the monthly Labour Market Statistical Bulletin.

• Single month Labour Force Survey estimates: February 2016 (Not Designated as National Statistics)

  This report contains charts that compare the Labour Force Survey (LFS) headline 3-month average rates for employment, unemployment and economic inactivity with their equivalent single month estimates. The single month estimates are derived from the same data source as the headline 3-month figures but are not designated as National Statistics and their use is restricted to helping to understand the movements in the headline 3-month averages.

• Supplementary analysis of average weekly earnings: February 2016
