The information requested by the Deputy is detailed in the following table.
It should be noted that the county level statistics indicate the number of people signing-on for payment at an office located in the county indicated. As the catchment area of many local offices cross county borders this data is not equivalent to the number of people residing in each county who are signing-on.
Persons under 25 years of age who have been in receipt of Jobseeker’s Allowance, Jobseeker’s Benefit or signing for credits by County at the end of August 2015
