More about this figure

This counts adverts, not vacancies and not positions that exist. ONS recorded roughly 66 percent more adverts than official Vacancy Survey vacancies for the same month. Adverts are counted against the location stated in the advert, which is not necessarily where the work happens: a remote or hybrid role advertised from a head office counts to that office's region. Occupations whose count the publisher withheld for this region are absent rather than shown as zero, so this is not every occupation and not every job.
