The available information requested is shown in the attached table. The estimates are derived from the Labour Force Survey (LFS). As with any sample survey, estimates from the LFS are subject to a margin of uncertainty.
The figures in the table are derived from the LFS microdata which are weighted using the official population estimates published in autumn 2007. They are not entirely consistent with the figures published in the monthly Labour Market Statistics Statistical Bulletin, or the migrant worker figures published every quarter, which are weighted using more up-to-date population estimates.

Letter from Karen Dunnell, dated July 2009:
As National Statistician, I have been asked to reply to your Parliamentary Questions asking how may people have claimed jobseeker's allowance in (a) Jarrow constituency (b) South Tyneside and (c) the North East in each year since 1997; how many people have been unemployed for (a) up to six months, (b) between six and 12 months and (c) 12 months and over in (i) Jarrow constituency, (ii) South Tyneside and (iii) the Norm East in each year since 1997; how many people have been in (a) part-time and (b) temporary work in (i) Jarrow constituency, (ii) South Tyneside and (iii) the North East in each year since 1997; and how many people have been self-employed in (a) Jarrow constituency, (b) South Tyneside and (c) the North East in each year since 1997.(286607,286340,286341,286342)
The Office for National Statistics (ONS) compiles labour market statistics for local areas from the Annual Population Survey (APS) and its predecessor the Annual Labour Force Survey (LFS). The number of people claiming Jobseeker's Allowance is compiled for Jobcentre Plus administrative data.
Table 1 shows the number of people claiming Jobseeker's Allowance resident in the requested geographies for June of each year since 1997. The latest data for May 2009 has also been provided.
Table 2 shows the number of people unemployed by the duration of unemployment resident in the North East. Estimates for Jarrow parliamentary constituency and South Tyneside are not available. Estimates are also not available for the 12 month period ending February 1998.
Table 3 shows the number of people in part-time and temporary work resident in the requested geographies. Estimates of temporary workers for the Jarrow parliamentary constituency are not available. Estimates of temporary workers are also not available for the 12 month period ending February 1998.
Table 4 shows the number of self-employed people resident in the requested geographies in each year.
National and local area estimates for many labour market statistics, including employment and unemployment are available from the NOMIS website at:

| '-' = not available (1) Coefficients of Variation have been calculated for the latest period as an indication of the quality of the estimates. See Guide to Quality below. Guide to Quality: The Coefficient of Variation (CV) indicates the quality of an estimate, the smaller the CV value the higher the quality. The true value is likely to lie within +/- twice the CV-for example, for an estimate of 200 with a CV of 5% we would expect the population total to be within the range 180-220. Key Coefficient of Variation (CV)(%) Statistical Robustness * 0 = CV≤ 5 Estimates are considered precise ** 5 = CV≤ 10 Estimates are considered reasonably precise *** 10 = CV≤ 20 Estimates are considered acceptable **** CV 20 Estimates are considered too unreliable for practical purposes It should be noted that the above estimates exclude people in most types of communal establishment (e.g. hotels, boarding houses, hostels, mobile home sites etc.) Source: Annual Population Survey/Annual Labour Force Survey | |||
