<\/p>
Note:<\/strong><\/p> <\/p> The youth unemployment data is estimated by the ONS, using the Annual Population Survey.<\/p> <\/p> The level of youth unemployment in South Gloucestershire was estimated at 2,500 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 2,400.<\/p> <\/p> The information requested for the Thornbury and Yate constituency is not available because the level of youth unemployment in Thornbury and Yate constituency was unpublished due to very small disclosive sample sizes.<\/p>"}
