Abstract

Presents latest comparisons from the Labour Force Survey and Workforce Jobs statistics, reconciling the estimates from both sourcesThis article presents the latest comparison of jobs statistics from the Labour Force Survey (LFS) and the Workforce Jobs (WFJ) statistics, and reconciliation of the estimates from the two sources. It introduces new evidence on the level of overcounting of self-employment in the LFS, and subsequent double-counting in the WFJ figures. This improvement is based on the available responses to a new question on payment of tax and National Insurance, which was introduced to the LFS in 2007. Developments to improve the estimate of undercoverage of foreign workers in the LFS series are also discussed. Economic & Labour Market Review (2008) 2, 18–23; doi:10.1057/elmr.2008.38
