<p>It is worth clarifying that although some Jobcentre buildings are proposed for
closure, the staff and services will merge with nearby offices to continue delivering
DWP services within communities. We are committed to retaining a Jobcentre network
and continuing to serve people in all areas of the country to make sure they can continue
to access the services they need, and the purpose of the equality analysis is to help
establish how many people are likely to be affected by the proposals to close some
offices.</p><p> </p><p>We are unable to provide the average unemployment rates specifically
for the areas where a Jobcentre building is proposed for closure however the claimant
counts for each Jobcentre are available from the following link: <a href="https://www.nomisweb.co.uk/"
