December 2019 data released

The monthly update of the Claimant Count and ONS Jobseeker's Allowance (JSA) series took place at 09:30 on 21 January 2020 with the release of new data for December 2019. As usual the claimant count figures for the previous month were revised at the same time. The full list of updates is given below.

Due to technical issues it has been necessary to reprocess Claimant Count and Allowance data for November 2019. This has led to minor revisions in both the non-seasonally adjusted data for November and seasonally adjusted series for October and November. Seasonally Adjusted data for on flows and off flows for JSA has also now also been published for November 2019 with minor revisions for October 2019
