<p>The level of unemployment in South Gloucestershire, estimated using the Annual
Population Survey, was 5,700 for the year to September 2010. For the latest period
(the year to September 2017) the level of unemployment was estimated at 6,200. This
rise was not statistically significant.</p><p> </p><p>Data from the Office for National
Statistics’ (ONS) Labour Force Survey shows that since the 2010 General Election (the
quarter to April 2010), the level and rate of unemployment has fallen in every region
and country of the UK. The level of unemployment in the South West currently stands
at 107,000 (the quarter to December 2017) – down by 51,000 since the 2010 election.</p><p>
</p><p><strong>Note:</strong></p><p> </p><p>The sub-regional data is estimated by
the ONS, using the Annual Population Survey.</p><p> </p><p>The level of unemployment
in Thornbury and Yate was estimated at 1,400 in the year to September 2017. This figure
is subject to a high degree of statistical uncertainty due to very small sample sizes.
This means we cannot make a reliable comparison with the 2010 estimate of 2,000.</p>
