This is a personalised email from the House of Commons Library consisting of new constituency unemployment figures for May 2011 which were published today at 9.30am by the Office for National Statistics.
The number of unemployed claimants in Portsmouth South constituency in May 2011 was 2,896. This represents a rate of 5.5% of the economically active population aged 16 to 64, the 241st highest of the 650 UK constituencies. The number of claimants is 137 lower than in May 2010 and 71 lower than in April 2011. These data are not seasonally adjusted.
The Library's monthly research paper, Unemployment by Constituency, will be published later today. It contains detailed analysis of labour market statistics and trends.
Further data, including constituency profiles, are available on the Office for National Statistics' NOMIS website. In addition, the ONS publish a monthly Labour Market Statistics Bulletin. Note that the percentages published by the ONS show claimants as a percentage of the population aged 16 to 64, rather than the number of economically active aged 16 to 64 as in the Library figures.
