UNEMPLOYMENT
Figures derived from records of claimants held at Social
Security offices. The term "claimant" is used to include those
who claim unemployment benefit, income support and national
insurance credits. The figures include the severely disabled
unemployed but exclude students seeking vacation work and the
temporarily stopped. In order to clarify the underlying trend
in unemployment a seasonally adjusted series is produced.
Numbers and percentages of unemployed claimants in
Travel-to-Work Areas are also available.
