Economic and Labour Market Review Articles

After 2006 Economic Trends and Labour Market Trends were merged into the Economic and Labour Market Review which ran until 2011 when the ONS switched to the online publication of articles on its website.  The articles published in Economic and Labour Market Review (ELMR) between 2007 – 2011 are available below.  Each edition of the ELMR is available as a pdf with a list of the articles it contains listed below.  Each edition has bookmarks within the pdf which allows easy navigation to the required article.
