Abstract: On 11 November 2009 ONS published revised Labour Force Survey (LFS) aggregate estimates in the Labour Market Statistical Bulletin to take account of the latest available offi cial population estimates and the results of the annual review of the seasonal adjustment of the LFS estimates. This article describes thenew and revised LFS estimates and the time period affected. An outline of the reasons for making the revisions and of the basic methodology is also provided. This is supported by tables illustrating the total population estimates for the UK by age group and is then followed by a summary of how the revisions haveimpacted on the headline labour market indicators, that is the measures of UK employment, unemployment economic inactivity and average actual weekly hours as derived from the LFS. A summary of the revisions by Government Office Region (GOR) is also provided.
