The labour market statistics containing HMRC Real Time Information data for Northern Ireland and the NI redundancy data were published today by the Northern Ireland Statistics & Research Agency.
Users will be aware that NISRA releases Northern Ireland's key labour market indicators on the same day and at the same time as those released by the other National Statistics Institutes for their respective territories of the UK. Importantly, this long-standing arrangement enables the Northern Ireland position to be considered in the wider context of that across the UK.
The Office for National Statistics (ONS) has taken the decision to delay its next publication of the UK and Regional Labour Market estimates based on the UK Labour Force Survey (previously due on Tuesday 17 October). This also includes details from the Claimant Count data. These data will now be published on Tuesday 24 October. The ONS have explained the reason for their delay in this Statement, which they released Friday 13th October.
In line with our long-standing arrangements and in order to ensure that NI estimates can continue be viewed in the wider UK context, NISRA has decided to delay the release of the Northern Ireland results from the Labour Force Survey and claimant count information until 24th October - in line with arrangements instigated by the ONS.
Users viewing the ONS statement can be assured that response rates to the Labour Force Survey in Northern Ireland continue to be robust, for which we are grateful to the general public of Northern Ireland. We will continue to work with ONS on this matter.
NISRA apologises for any inconvenience that this may cause.
Payrolled employees increase over the month, while monthly earnings remain unchanged
Proposed redundancies over three times the total for previous year
