In 2011 a total of 540,560 jobseeker's allowance, jobseeker's benefit or jobseeker's credit claims were closed for a variety of reasons. 30% of these or 160,256 claims were closed indicating the closure reason as returning to employment. However these data are not necessarily comprehensive as people may not say the reason they are leaving the live register. I attach for your information a table detailing the breakdown of this number in the time bands requested.
