Notes

The unemployed are defined as those recorded in the monthly count of people who are claiming unemployment-related benefits (currently Jobseeker's Allowance and National Insurance credits).
The figures for young and long-term unemployed exclude non-computerised claims (estimated at about 1% of the total). For confidentiality reasons they are rounded to the nearest 5.

The figures given are not seasonally adjusted i.e. they do not take account of regular seasonal variations in the number of people out of work. Thus differences between one month and the next may merely reflect normal seasonal changes rather than any underlying trend in unemployment. To avoid seasonal effects, comparisons are best made with the same month in a previous year.

* Unemployment rates for unemployed are the official figures published by ONS. They are calculated by expressing the numbers unemployed as a percentage of the resident population of working age (i.e. males 16-64, females 16-59) as given in the Mid-Year Population Estimates. There are no official unemployment rates for young people. The rates in this table have been calculated by expressing the numbers unemployed as a percentage of the resident population aged 16-24 as given in the 2001 Census.

"Derbyshire" refers to the area administered by Derbyshire County Council which excludes the City of Derby.
