<p>The information requested falls under the remit of the UK Statistics Authority.
I have, therefore, asked the Authority to respond.</p><p><strong>Professor Sir Ian
Diamond</strong> | National Statistician</p><p> </p><p>The Lord Scriven</p><p>House
of Lords</p><p>London</p><p>SW1A 0PW</p><p> </p><p>26 February 2021</p><p> </p><p>Dear
Lord Scriven,</p><p> </p><p>As National Statistician and Chief Executive of the UK
Statistics Authority, I am responding to your Parliamentary Question asking how many
jobs have been lost in each parliamentary constituency in South Yorkshire in the current
financial year to date <strong>(HL13503)</strong>.</p><p> </p><p>The Office for National
Statistics (ONS) produces labour market statistics for small areas from the Annual
Population Survey (APS), which is a survey of people resident in households in the
UK.</p><p> </p><p>The APS cannot be used to measure the number of people who have
lost their jobs, but instead can provide estimates of how the size of the workforce
has changed over time. The survey provides level estimates for 12-month periods, based
on interviews taking place throughout that time. Comparisons should only be made between
non-overlapping survey periods.</p><p> </p><p>Table 1 below shows the employment levels
for the 12-month period ending September 2020, the latest available period, and the
previous non-overlapping period for the 12-months ending September 2019, along with
the net change between the two periods, for each parliamentary constituency in South
Yorkshire.</p><p> </p><p>Estimates from the APS are from a sample survey and as such
are subject to a certain level of uncertainty.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Yours sincerely,</p><p><strong>Professor
