  1. Earnings and Labour Market Information – ONS Sources David McPhee

  2. Two Main Sources • Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings (ASHE) - Annual survey of employers carried out in April each year • Labour Force Survey (LFS) – Continuous household survey

  3. ASHE • Employer survey covering approximately 0.8% of all employee jobs (previously 1%) • Basic characteristics of employees available such as age, gender, occupation, industry ft/pt split • Detailed information on earnings including basic pay, overtime pay, bonus pay, incentive pay etc.

  4. ASHE • Data readily available at Local Authority level • Possible to create other geographies using microdata • Also possible to look at ad hoc groups using microdata • Some (long term) plans to collect qualifications data from employers

  5. LFS/APS • Continuous household survey since 1992 • SG fund a boost to the sample to make the sample size 23,000 households a year • LFS contains data on economic activity, family background, occupation, industry, earnings,health issues, qualifications, benefits etc.

  6. LFS/APS • Earnings information not considered as accurate as ASHE • Allows interesting analysis of earnings by other characteristics • Able to create ad hoc geographies and groups using microdata

  7. Access to data • National Statistics Website – www.statistics.gov.uk • Scottish Government website – www.scotland.gov.uk • NOMIS – www.nomisweb.co.uk • Email Labour Market statistics branch: labour-market.statistics@scotland.gsi.gov.uk

  8. Questions • How closely linked do you see labour market statistics and poverty statistics? • Can the ASHE be used to inform more detailed geographic poverty statistics? • Can a combination of LFS and ASHE data help to inform poverty issues? • What geographic levels are most important? • Are there standard outputs from the LFS and ASHE that should be regularly published?
