Summary

The latest data measuring DSO 3.7: Overall Employment rate (working age population) at neighbourhood level (in deprived areas) was released on Monday 1 February 2010 according to the arrangements approved by the UK Statistics Authority.

The release covers the latest data for the most deprived areas in Working Neighbourhood Fund (WNF) areas and the rest of England, for July 2008-June 2009, including previous data points from the baseline April 2007-March 2008.

The key points

Between the baseline April 2007-March 2008:

• the employment rate in the most deprived areas (also in WNF areas) was 56.7 per cent;
• this compares to 76.4 per cent in the rest of England, a gap of 19.7 percentage points.

For the latest data for July 2008-June 2009:

• the employment rate in the most deprived areas (also in WNF areas) was 54.9 per cent;
• this compares to 75.2 per cent in the rest of England, a gap of 20.3 percentage points. Although this figure suggests a widening of the gap from the baseline, this difference is not significantly different.
