Unemployment Claimant Count
Percentage of 16-64 years old claiming Unemployment Benefits in Buckinghamshire by Ward Area (April 2022)
No Data Found
The data is produced by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), and replaced previous analysis which took the number of people claiming Jobseeker’s Allowance (JSA) as the headline indicator for the number of people claiming unemployment benefits.
JSA is payable to people under pensionable age who are out of work and available for, and actively seeking, work of at least 40 hours a week. However, Universal Credit is also paid to some people who are out-of-work, and who may not be receiving JSA, so combining the two datasets provides a more reliable picture.
