UK Job Climate
The UK Job Climate Forecast
A live read on UK job market conditions, sourced directly from the Office for National Statistics — not a survey, not an estimate. Updated automatically as new figures are released.

Vacancies only. The forecast above is UK-wide and can’t be narrowed — ONS counts unemployed people, but not which sector they’re looking in, so there’s no per-sector version of that ratio to calculate.

Unemployment Rate
—
The share of the UK workforce currently out of work and looking for a job.
Open Vacancies
—
The number of live job openings across the UK right now.
Seekers per Vacancy
—
Roughly how many unemployed people are competing for each open role.
Where this comes from: figures are pulled directly from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) — the UK's official source for labour market data — and refreshed automatically as new releases come out (typically monthly). This is genuinely live data, not a fixed snapshot.
