It would be even more valuable if we could access data which showed us the level of qualifications by industry initially at a regional level e.g. south east but ideally at a local authority level. Is this possible?

| Martin, The 2001 Census Standard Tables data set includes table S131 on Sex and industry by highest level of qualification for the workplace population. I cannot see any equivalent table for the residence population. ONS Census Customer Services will be able to confirm this - contact them at: tel: 01329 813800 email: census.customerservices@ons.gov.uk |

(Contributor) On 01/06/2007 at 09:15 | Thanks for this. I would say however that the emphasis on my role is for local market intelligence which is timely. Data from 2001 is just not timely and a breakdown for the whole country is not local. Please can you add my requets to your wish list as I am sure I am not the only educational institution which would find this information useful? Thanks |
| Martin, The biggest problem for getting up-to-date figures at local authority level will be the sample size limitations of the Annual Population Survey. You may be able to request the data you need from the APS/LFS data service at ONS and they would advise on any sample-size issues. Their contact details are: lfs.dataservice@ons.gov.uk tel: 020 7533 5614 |
