In the UK, there was a slight decline of 18,000 (0.1%) between January and February 2024, followed by a significant increase of 352,000 (1.2%) in the year to February 2024. March 2024 saw a preliminary month-on-month decline of 67,000 (0.2%), but an annualised increase of 204,000 (0.7%) to 30.3 million, but caution is advised due to possible revisions. Also, the volatility of the Labour Force Survey estimates makes them worth using in conjunction with other indicators such as Workforce Jobs and PAYE Real Time Information.
