Occupations in demand
Calendar year 2025

Description

This page describes the underlying data files for the ‘Occupations in demand’ official statistics in development release. This data is released under the terms of the Open Government License (opens in a new tab) (http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/doc/open-government-licence/version/3/).

The publication methodology explains the definitions used and how estimates have been produced. It also provides information on the data sources, their coverage and quality.

Coverage

The data used in this release mostly relate to the UK labour market and are aggregated together to create a UK demand index. The exception to this are indicators using data from the Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings (ASHE), which does not contain data from Northern Ireland and is therefore Great Britain only.

This publication revises the 2024 occupations in demand publication using an updated methodology.

The earliest data source used in this release when revising the 2024 occupations in demand publication contains data to April 2022, the latest contains data to March 2024.

The earliest data source used in this release when producing new 2025 occupations in demand analysis contains data to April 2024, the latest contains data to September 2025.

Information on how occupations or industries have been grouped together can be found in the additional supporting files of this release.

Full details of the coverage for each source are provided in the publication methodology.

File formats and conventions

The underlying data files are provided in comma separated value (csv) format.

Rounding and decimal places vary across the different files, based on conventions for the relevant sources and what is appropriate for the analysis that has been undertaken.

Symbols used in the underlying data are as follows:

- ‘z’ when an observation is not applicable
- ‘x’ when data is unavailable for other reasons
- ‘c’ confidential data removed due to suppression

Footnotes:

1. Average is the weighted mean based on published workers.
2. The annual change in hourly wage, wage premium and annual change in hours worked indicators do not include Northern Ireland data, whereas the visa density and online job advert density indicators include data for the whole of the UK. This could disproportionately impact occupations which have a large proportion of workers in Northern Ireland.
3. Proportions may not sum to 100% due to rounding.
4. Worker volumes sourced from:  Annual population survey Jul 2024 - Jun 2025 (https://www.nomisweb.co.uk/datasets/aps218/reports/employment-by-status-and-occupation?compare=K02000001)
5. Median wages sourced from: 2025 provisional Earnings and hours worked, occupation by four-digit SOC: ASHE Table 14 - Office for National Statistics (ons.gov.uk)  (https://www.ons.gov.uk/employmentandlabourmarket/peopleinwork/earningsandworkinghours/datasets/occupation4digitsoc2010ashetable14)
6. Proportion uses the UK 16+ working population as the denominator.
7. Proportion uses the total workers in the respective demand level as the denominator.

Footnotes:

1. Average is the weighted mean based on published workers.
2. The annual change in hourly wage, wage premium and annual change in hours worked indicators do not include Northern Ireland data, whereas the visa density and online job advert density indicators include data for the whole of the UK. This could disproportionately impact occupations which have a large proportion of workers in Northern Ireland.
3. Proportions may not sum to 100% due to rounding.
4. Worker volumes sourced from: Annual population survey Apr 2023 - Mar 2024 (https://www.nomisweb.co.uk/datasets/aps218/reports/employment-by-status-and-occupation?compare=K02000001)
5. Median wages sourced from: 2023 provisional Earnings and hours worked, occupation by four-digit SOC: ASHE Table 14 - Office for National Statistics (ons.gov.uk)  (opens in new tab) (https://www.ons.gov.uk/employmentandlabourmarket/peopleinwork/earningsandworkinghours/datasets/occupation4digitsoc2010ashetable14)
6. Proportion uses the UK 16+ working population as the denominator.
7. Proportion uses the total workers in the respective demand level as the denominator.

Footnotes:

1. The annual change in hourly wage, wage premium and annual change in hours worked indicators do not include Northern Ireland data, whereas the visa density and online job advert density indicators include data for the whole of the UK. This could disproportionately impact occupations which have a large proportion of workers in Northern Ireland.
2. Proportions may not sum to 100% due to rounding.

4. Industry worker volumes proportionately distribute occupation workers using the distributions shown in the mapping of occupations to industries 2024 supporting file.
5. Proportion uses the total number of workers in the respective industry as the denominator
6. Proportion uses the total number of workers in the respective demand level and industry as the denominators.

3. All annual population survey published worker numbers are included, while in the 2024 publication occupations suppressed in the analysis were suppressed in outputs. For this reason some worker totals and percentages may not match the 2024 publication outputs.
4. Proportion uses the total workers in the respective demand level as the denominator.
