The number of employment opportunities – unfilled vacancies - combined with the number of people looking for work demonstrates the health of the local labour market. The lower the ratio the stronger the labour market.
Please note: Quarter 3 2010 missing due to vacancy data being withdrawn in September 2010 (which is why vacancy ratio reads '0')
