Summary of request
Estimates of employment in Local Skills Improvement Plan (LSIP) areas, broken down by 3 and 4 digit occupational coding, drawn from the Annual Population Survey.
Please note
On 06 January 2023 an error was noticed in the aggregation of Local Authorities into LSIP areas, causing estimates for two of the LSIPs - Stoke on Trent and Staffordshire, and Worcestershire - to be given in more than one row for each. This has been corrected in the updated tables; no other estimates are affected.
Please note
The Office for National Statistics (ONS) has identified an issue with the collection of some occupational data in a number of our surveys, including the Labour Force Survey (LFS) and Annual Population Survey (APS). While we estimate any impacts will be small overall, this will affect the accuracy of the breakdowns of some detailed (three- and four-digit Standard Occupational Classifications (SOC)) occupations, and data derived from them.
On 26 September 2022, the ONS published The impact of miscoding of occupational data in Office for National Statistics social surveys, UK based on initial analysis of the potential impact on different four-digit SOC codes. The ONS advises to continue exercising caution in the use of detailed SOC breakdowns until the issue has been corrected.
