APS Release Dates Brought Forward Three Months

On 18 July 2012 Nomis will be releasing Annual Population Survey (APS) estimates for the January 2011 to December 2011 period along with the April 2011 to March 2012 period.

Improvements to the processing of these datasets by ONS will result in all subsequent APS datasets being released approximately 3.5 months after the end of each reference period resulting in each dataset being released up to 3 months earlier than previously.

The expected release dates for the next APS datasets on Nomis are:


Release date APS Period
18 July 2012 January 2011 to December 2011
18 July 2012 April 2011 to March 2012
17 October 2012 July 2011 to June 2012
23 January 2013 October 2011 to September 2012
17 April 2013 January 2012 to December 2012

Model-based estimates of unemployment for local authorities will also be released to this timetable.
