Nomis official labour market statistics

First launched in 1981, Nomis is a web-based database run by the University of Durham on behalf of the Office for National Statistics. It provides official statistical information covering the UK labour market, presenting labour market and related population data for local areas from a variety of sources including: the Labour Force Survey (LFS); claimant count; the Annual Business Inquiry (ABI); New Earnings Survey (NES); and the 1991 and 1981 Censuses of Population. The database offers both labour market profiles (summary data for a single area at parliamentary constituency, local authority and ward level) plus time series data which can be exported into Excel. The database and data downloads are free but access to Annual Business Inquiry (ABI) data is fee-based.
