(asked on 31st October 2018) - View Source
Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what the level of unemployment was in Suffolk in (a) May 2010 and (b) May 2018.
This question was answered on 9th November 2018
The level of unemployment in Suffolk for the year July 2009-June 2010 was 24,100, while for the year July 2017-June 2018 it was 13,600. This was a decrease of over 40%. The data is collated annually so data for May alone is not held.
The data is from the ONS: Annual Population Survey. The sample sizes for this data are very small and so there is uncertainty around the reliability and accuracy of the Suffolk county data.
