Rates of unemployment in London's boroughs are similar to those found in other large cities in England.

Within London, the highest levels of unemployment are found in Tower Hamlets where around 9% of working-age adults are unemployed.

Most boroughs saw an increase in unemployment from the middle of the last decade until the end.

There were almost 900,000 people in London either unemployed or underemployed in 2010, accounting for almost 17% of the total working-age population in London.

The number of people in part-time work who wanted, but could not find, a full-time job has more than doubled since 2004.

The number of unemployed Londoners passed 400,000 in the middle of 2011. This is the highest level since 1996.

The unemployment rate of under 25s in London is far higher than the average for all working-age adults, at around 23%.

Young adult unemployment is now higher than at any time since 1993 (when this data started to be collected).

Young adult unemployment rose in Inner London since 2009 whilst staying at the same level in Outer London.

More Londoners were in work in 2009 than in 2007, although a higher proportion were unemployed.

The labour force has grown mainly through more part-time jobs.

A growing number of people working part-time say that it is because they cannot find full-time work.

In 2009, around a third of unemployed people in London were aged under 25.

Although the unemployment rate is lower, the actual numbers of unemployed young adults is greater in Outer than Inner London.

In 2010, unemployment in London was back up at levels last seen in the late 1990s.

The gap between unemployment rates in Inner London and Outer London has closed.

A far higher proportion of children in Inner London live in workless households than anywhere else in England.

• Outer London is unusual in that there was no decline in the proportion of children in workless households in the ten years from the late 1990s.

• The overall proportion of children in workless households in London is about 24% for the years 2006 to 2008, although for the most recent year the figure is closer to 22%.

• Rates of adults lacking but wanting paid work vary substantially across London's boroughs from 7% in Kingston to 19% in Westminster.

The proportion of working-age adults lacking work in Inner London is higher than the average for the rest of England.

• The total proportion of working-age adults not working in London in 2009 was higher than it was in 1999.

• Compared to other large English cities, the proportion of working-age adults in London who are not working is unexceptional.

Unemployment in London did not begin falling when the recession ended. In 2010, the proportion of working-age adults in London who were unemployed was at its highest since 1997.

• By mid 2011, the number of unemployed people in London was over 400,000. Unemployment was rising faster in London than the national average.

• In addition to rising unemployment, the number of working-age people lacking but wanting work has risen to 350,000. On top of this, there are 170,000 people in part-time work who want a full-time job. In total, there are 900,000 people in London either unemployed or underemployed.

• As a result of the recession, unemployment went up in almost all London boroughs. But both the levels of unemployment and the rises resulting from the recession have been higher in other cities in England such as Hull, Manchester and Birmingham.

• The unemployment rate among young adults in London is, at 23%, far higher than the average (9%) and higher than for young adults in the rest of England (19%). Moreover, it rose in 2010 when the average rate of unemployment was static.

• There are significant variations in worklessness between ethnic groups and by gender. Over two-thirds of Bangladeshi and Pakistani women are not in paid work, compared to one-third of White women.

• Disabled people in London are more likely to lack work than disabled people in the rest of England. This is particularly true in Inner London, where 61% of disabled working-age adults are not working, compared to 50% outside of London. The gap in work rates between disabled and non-disabled adults is higher in Inner London than anywhere else.
