What this means for people A higher share means more people of working age have a job.
In work means paid work in the survey week, or a job the person was away from. The share covers everyone aged 16 to 64, including people who are not looking for a job.
Unemployment counts a wider age group, so it is not a slice of this share. People aged 16 to 64 who are looking for work are in neither the employment rate nor the inactivity rate .

How to read this This comes from a survey Households answer the Labour Force Survey. A small move can sit inside the margin of error. From 2023 fewer households replied, so those years swing more.
Each figure covers three months The rate averages three months that overlap the months before. A one-month change is a poor comparison. Use the previous three months, or a year earlier.
Ages 16 to 64 This share is of people aged 16 to 64. Unemployment uses people aged 16 and over who are looking for work. Different age groups, so the rates are not parts of one total.
Not the inactivity rate People aged 16 to 64 who are looking for work sit in neither rate. They are unemployed. Employment and inactivity do not add up to the whole age group.
