What this means for people A higher share means more people of working age are out of work and not looking for a job.
This group is not in paid work, and is not looking for a job or could not start one within two weeks. Students, carers, retired people and people who are long-term sick can all be in it.
The long-term sickness figure counts people who give illness as the main reason. That count is separate from this percentage.
People aged 16 to 64 who are looking for work are outside this rate and outside the employment rate .

How to read this This comes from a survey The Labour Force Survey asks a sample of households. Small moves can be noise. Response fell in 2023, and ONS treats 2023 and 2024 as more volatile.
Each figure covers three months One figure blends three months, and the next figure shares two of them. Read a change against the three months before, or against a year earlier.
Ages 16 to 64 The share is of people aged 16 to 64. The unemployment rate uses a wider group, aged 16 and over. Do not add the two rates together.
Not people looking for work Someone looking for work, who could start within two weeks, is unemployed. They are outside this rate and outside the employment rate. The two shares do not add to 100%.
Not the long-term sickness count Long-term sickness counts people who give illness as the main reason. This rate is a percentage, and it also includes students, carers and retired people.
