January 2021 - Employment in DCMS sectors by socio-economic background: July 2020 to September 2020
This analysis provides estimates of employment in DCMS sectors based on socio-economic background, using the Labour Force Survey (LFS) for July 2020 to September 2020. The LFS asks respondents the job of main earner at age 14, and then matches this to a socio-economic group.
Revision note:
25 September 2024: Employment in DCMS sectors by socio-economic background: July to September 2020 data has been revised and re-published here: DCMS Economic Estimates: Employment, April 2023 to March 2024
February 2021 - GVA by industries in DCMS clusters, 2019
This analysis provides the Gross Value Added (GVA) in 2019 for DCMS clusters and for Civil Society. The figures show that in 2019, the DCMS Clusters contributed £291.9 bn to the UK economy, accounting for 14.8% of UK GVA (expressed in current prices). The largest cluster was Digital, which added £116.3 bn in GVA in 2019, and the smallest was Gambling (£8.3 bn).
March 2021 - Provisional monthly Gross Value Added for DCMS sectors in 2019 and 2020
This analysis provides provisional estimates of Gross Value Added (adjusted for inflation) for DCMS sectors (excluding Civil Society) for every month in 2019 and 2020. These timely estimates should only be used to illustrate general trends, rather than be taken as definitive figures. These figures will not be as accurate as our annual National Statistics release of gross value added for DCMS sectors (which will be published in Winter 2021).
We estimate that the gross value added of DCMS sectors (excluding Civil Society) shrank by 18% in real terms for March to December 2020 (a loss of £41 billion), compared to the same period in 2019. By sector this varied from -5% (Telecoms) to -37% (Tourism). In comparison, the UK economy as a whole shrank by 11%.
March 2021 - Employment (number of filled jobs) in DCMS sectors by size of business, October 2019 to September 2020 (thousands)
This analysis provides estimates of employment in DCMS sectors by size of business, for the period of October 2019 to September 2020, using the Annual Population Survey (APS).
The results show that, of the 5.4 million jobs in DCMS Sectors, 2.3 million (43.1% of the total) worked in organisations with fewer than 50 employees (micro and small businesses); and 2.0 million (37.4%) worked in organisations with 50 or more employees (medium and large businesses). For over one million jobs (19.5%), the respondents did not know the size of the business.
March 2021 - Number of businesses and employment estimates for businesses with 50 or more employees, broken down by SIC Division
This analysis provides estimates of number of businesses, and estimates of employment (number of filled jobs), broken down by SIC Divisions, for businesses with 50 or more employees.
Estimates for number of businesses are compiled using the Annual Business Survey (ABS), and covers the year 2018 (provisional estimate). Estimates for employment are compiled using the Annual Population Survey (APS), and covers the period October 2019 to September 2020. DCMS sectors are formally defined at SIC Industry level, not at the SIC Division level. However, some SIC Divisions will contain DCMS sector industries within them.
Looking at the figures for all divisions, the Wholesale Trade (except of motor vehicles and motorcycles) division had the largest number of businesses, with approximately 3,200 businesses with 50 or more employees. However, for employment, Education has the largest number of jobs (between 2 and 2.1 million) for businesses with 50 or more employees.
March 2021 - Employment (number of filled jobs) in the DCMS clusters and sub-clusters by various demographic characteristics (thousands)
This analysis provides estimates of employment (number of filled jobs) in the DCMS sub-clusters and the clusters of Gambling, Sport and Tourism. These statistics are estimated using the Annual Population Survey (APS) and covers the period October 2019 to September 2020.
The analysis is used for modelling and analysis purposes pertaining to the coronavirus (COVID-19), particularly within DCMS. Clusters and sub-clusters are a way of classifying DCMS sectors in a way that minimises overlaps. They were developed in response to the COVID-19 outbreak and the first suite of estimates were published in spring 2020.
These latest findings show that there are 5.4 million jobs in the DCMS Sectors for the period October 2019 to September 2020. 1.4 million jobs come from the Tourism cluster. The largest sub-cluster is Computer Programming, Consultancy and Related Activities with 876 thousand jobs.
