This page has been designed
to answer some of the more common queries which we receive daily from students,
journalists, television researchers, consultants and academic researchers.
Dealing with these queries is very time-consuming and we would be really
grateful if you could use this page, follow up some of the references in
it yourself and contact us only if you cannot find the answers you want here.
Students doing projects on employment-related issues might also find it worthwhile
to visit the excellent information page for students on the Institute
for Employment Studies web-site on http://www.employment-studies.co.uk/contact/students.html
which contains links to a range of sources of useful statistics as well as some good advice on research.
