LONDON (Reuters) – Britain’s Office for National Statistics (ONS) said it would publish an adjusted rate for unemployment and other measures of the labour market on Tuesday, a week after scaling back its jobs market data release due to low responses to its survey.
“Tomorrow we will publish a new series using additional data sources to produce adjusted levels and rates for employment, unemployment and inactivity for the latest two 3-monthly periods,” the ONS said in a statement on Monday.
“We will not be publishing the unadjusted June to August LFS (Labour Force Survey) data tomorrow.”
