This report is the first of a series of monthly Recession Briefings produced by SLIM at
the request of the People, Employment and Skills sub-group of the Regional Economic Task Group. It is also available for general circulation and use by partners within the South West region.
The report sets out and seeks to interpret the latest data on the employment and skills impacts of the recession. Although the focus is on monthly changes, it is often necessary to set these changes in context, drawing out longer-term trends and other factors, such as seasonal influences. The two main datasets analysed in this report are: Jobcentre Plus administrative data to May 2009 and Labour Force Survey (LFS) data for the quarter from February to April 2009.
