NOMIS Ward Labour Market Profiles
NOMIS is a web-based database of Official UK Labour Market Statistics run by the University of Durham on behalf of the ONS. First launched in 1986, NOMIS houses an extensive range of government statistical information on the UK labour market including Employment, Unemployment, Earnings, Labour Force Survey and Jobcentre Plus vacancies.
NOMIS provides labour market profiles providing an overview of the key labour market information available at a range of geographic levels.
Profiles are available for Local authorities (Counties and Districts), Wards and Parliamentary Constituencies. The profiles for Wards in Hertfordshire are available on a District by District basis by selecting the links to the NOMIS website (on the right hand side of the screen). This will present you with an interactive map from which to select the required Ward.
The profiles use the most appropriate sources of statistics available at the different geographic levels. The data are taken directly from the main NOMIS database so reports will always give you the most recently published figures. The definitions and explanations section to the end of each profile explains the sources used and defines the variables included in the tables.
Ward profiles mainly use data from the 2001 Census of Population so are available for 2003 Census Area Statistics (CAS) Wards. They complement the summary statistics report available on the Neighbourhood Statistics by providing labour market measures not available in that report and by giving figures for working age population (rather than all people aged 16-74).
