• Latest available non-seasonally adjusted unemployment and employment levels and rates for 18-24 year olds in Scotland and the UK (Aug - Oct 2011).

The estimates included in this publication were compiled by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) and are intended to complement the main ONS regional labour market publication.

Comparable (not seasonally adjusted) estimates for the UK are available on the ONS website. (Click on 'Data in this release' and choose Table A05).
