Adzuna panel dataset series: local authority and travel to work areas

Request data

Data and Metadata

This Adzuna data product is comprised of two series of panel datasets, one at the Local Authority level and the other at the Travel to Work Area level. Both series cover Great Britain and contain weekly counts of the number of Adzuna vacancies between April 2016 and December 2023. Disaggregated counts of the number of vacancies by pay frequency - hourly, daily, weekly and annual salaries – are also provided, as are breakdowns by sector, advert seniority and occupation.

Since not all Adzuna vacancies can be assigned to a local authority or travel to work area, a supplementary dataset on panel sample sizes has been provided. This dataset can assist researchers in understanding the trade-off they face when choosing between panels with more granular breakdowns (with smaller vacancy coverages) and more aggregate panels (with larger vacancy coverages).
