Data visualisations: out-of-work benefits statistics
Maps of DWP data presented through Google's Public Data Explorer tool, which lets users visualise and customise data via animated charts.
Out-of-work benefits statistics
The visualisation of out-of-work benefits statistics presents data we have previously collected and published about people aged 16 to 59 that were claiming out-of-work benefits at May 2011.
The information includes breakdowns for Jobseeker’s Allowance, Employment and Support Allowance, incapacity benefits and lone parents on income support.
Although quarterly data has been used, the Public Data Explorer produces a monthly animation. Exact figures appear on February, May, August and November of each year. You can download below the full sets of data used in the visualisation.
