August 2021 Data Released

The monthly update of the Claimant Count and ONS Jobseeker's Allowance (JSA) series took place at 07:00 on 14 September 2021 with the release of new data for August 2021. As usual the claimant count figures for the previous month were revised at the same time. The full list of updates is given below.

 

Jobseeker's Allowance by Ethnicity

Due to technical problems the JSA by ethnicity data for July 2021 cannot be produced. Therefore, the release on 14 Sep 2021 will not include an update of this dataset and the figures for July 2021 will remain missing data in future.

Other JSA datasets are not affected and the August 2021 JSA by ethnicity data will be released as usual in the October 2021 release.
