Reweighting of the Labour Force Survey prior to the release of the productivity economic commentary, UK: April to June 2020 led to the decision to delay the publishing of some productivity estimates. This decision was taken to give further time to review and analyse a complex data and ensure that estimates are calculated from most current dataset. These estimates will now be published on the 4th November 2020.

Data

Methodology

The United Kingdom Statistics Authority has designated these statistics as National Statistics, in accordance with the Statistics and Registration Service Act 2007 and signifying compliance with the Code of Practice for Official Statistics.

Designation can be broadly interpreted to mean that the statistics:

  • meet identified user needs
  • are well explained and readily accessible
  • are produced according to sound methods
  • are managed impartially and objectively in the public interest

Once statistics have been designated as National Statistics it is a statutory requirement that the Code of Practice shall continue to be observed.
