"Ethnicity data for Jobseeker's Allowance (JSA) claimants were published for the first time in November 2006. The data are now available via the two existing channels for accessing JSA data – the Office for National Statistics claimant count data on the NOMIS website and JSA caseload data on the Tabulation Tool on the Department for Work and Pensions website.The purpose of this article is to announce the publication of ethnicity data within existing National Statistics releases for JSA claimants; summarise the methodology for matching ethnicity data to JSA claimants; describe what variables will be available through both publication channels and explain key differences between the two; and provide some summary analysis based on the newly released data.
