Unemployment: Ribble Valley
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many people were unemployed in Ribble Valley in (a) 2016, (b) 2017 and (c) 2018.
- Answer
-
Official Statistics, published by the Office for National Statistics and based on the Annual Population Survey, do not provide reliable estimates at this geography, due to the sample size being too small.
However, using the Labour Force Survey, the Office for National Statistics estimate the level of unemployment in the North West was 143,000 in the quarter to December 2018. The data shows:
- A decrease in unemployment of 5,000 on the same quarter of 2017,
- A decrease in unemployment of 38,000 on the same quarter of 2016.
- A decrease in unemployment of 152,000 since the quarter to April 2010.
