4 The public sector headcount figure reported since December 2007 is based on the new States of Jersey reporting system (see Note 7).

Figure 1 shows total and private sector employment since 1996 (see Note 3). After rising rapidly to a peak of 55,000 in June 1998, total and private sector employment in Jersey was substantially constant between 1999 and December 2002 but decreased during 2003 and 2004. Throughout 2005 and 2008, there was an ongoing increase in total employment.

Sectoral Breakdown

Figure 2 shows the sectoral breakdown of employment at June 2009, with:

• almost a quarter (23%) of the total were engaged in the Finance sector (13,210);

• nearly a sixth (15%) were in Wholesale and retail trades (8,480);

• the public sector (excluding Trading Committees) accounted for around one in eight (12%) of Jersey's labour force.

Overview: Private sector

The  number  of  people  employed  in  Jersey  businesses  in  June  2009  was  49,500, comprising 40,090 full-time and 9,410 part-time employees. This total represented a net decrease of 380 staff on an annual basis, comprising of a net decrease of 410 full-time staff and an increase of 30 part time staff.

There were 5,940 active undertakings in Jersey in June 2009 of which almost 2,500 were one-person businesses.

The net decrease of 380 in total employment on an annual basis consisted of:

a decrease of 530 jobs in the predominantly non-seasonal sectors over the period

June 2008 to December 2008 (see Figure 3);

an  increase  of  330  in  the  predominantly  non-seasonal  sectors  between

December 2008 and June 2009;

a decrease of 190 in the seasonal industries compared to the previous June. Figure 3 – Net changes June-08 to June-09

400 300 200 100 0 -100 -200 -300 -400 -500 -600

The Wholesale and retail sector saw a decrease of 210 employees on an annual basis, made up of a net decrease of 280 in the last six months of 2008 and a net increase of 70 in the first six months of 2009. The decrease was driven by reduced employment in the retail sub-sector, down by 350 on annual basis.

The large net increase in employment of 330 in the non-seasonal sectors during the first six months of 2009, apparent in Figure 3, was driven by increased employment in the service  industries:  private  sector  Education,  health  and  other  services  (essentially businesses  servicing  households)  was  up  by  220  employees  on  an  annual  basis, representing a rise of 4%, whilst the Miscellaneous business activities sector (largely businesses services other businesses) was up by 140 employees, a similar rise of 4%

The seasonal sectors saw an annual decrease of 190 staff, comprised of a fall of 120 of in Agriculture  and  fisheries  and  of  50  in  Hotels,  bars  and  restaurants.  Allowing  for  a re-classification  of  staff  from  Manufacturing,  the  Hotels,  bars  and  restaurants  sector recorded an effective fall of almost 200 staff on an annual basis, driven by reduced employment in hotels.

Within  the  Wholesale  and  retail  sector,  a  total  of  700  employees  were  employed  in fulfilment activities in June 2009, a decrease of 60 on the previous December, reflecting the seasonal nature of this sub-sector, but up by 40 on June 2008.

In  June  2009,  total  employment  in  the  Finance  sector  stood  at  13,210,  a  marginal reduction (of 10) compared with a year earlier. During the first six months of 2009, the Finance sector overall recorded a net decrease of 180 employees (Table 2), the first such decrease seen by this sector for five years (Figure 4). The most recent fall was driven by reduced employment in the banking sub-sector, down 140 compared with December 2008. In contrast, the trust and company administration sub-sector saw increased employment, up by 80 during the first six months of 2009.

Employment excluding one-person businesses5

Excluding one-person enterprises, there were a total of 3,460 active undertakings in Jersey in June 2009. The number in employment in such undertakings decreased by 580 over the twelve months to June 2009, to stand at 47,020.

On a shorter time-frame, between December 2008 and June 2009, employment increased by 2,530. Such shorter-term changes are heavily influenced by seasonal factors, as can be seen  from  Figure 5a.  The  underlying  trend,  excluding  seasonal  and  other  short-term variations, is shown by Figure 5b (see Note 3). The twelve-month percentage changes, Figure 6, show that total employment in June 2009 was 1.2% lower than the previous June, constituting the first annual decrease since 2004

Employment in one-person businesses

In June 2009 there were 2,480 reported single-person undertakings, about 200 more than a year earlier. Single-person undertakings were not being consistently recorded prior to 2000; therefore detailed figures excluding single-person undertakings are presented in Appendix 1 and those including single-person undertakings are shown in Appendix 2.

5 These data are shown in order to obtain a longer term view of employment in Jersey since one-person undertakings were not consistently reported before 2000.

Residential qualifications

Overall, 82% of people employed in Jersey in June 2009 were locally qualified (as defined by the Regulation of Undertakings and Development Law, see Note 4), more than 3% were j-category and 15% were not locally qualified.

Of the 49,500 people employed in the private sector in June 2009, about four-fifths (81%) were  locally  qualified.  A  further  2%  (1,120  staff)  were  qualified  as  j-category.  The remaining 17% (8,510), representing about one in six of all private sector staff, were not locally qualified.

The number of locally qualified staff in the private sector in June 2009 was 200 more than in June 2008. Over the same period, the number of j-category employees in the private sector increased by 30, most of the increase occurring in the Finance sector during the latter six months of 2008; during the first six months of 2009 the number of j-category employees  remained  essentially  constant.  As  Figure  7  shows,  the  total  number  of j-category employees in the private sector has more than doubled since the Manpower Survey first started recorded the residential qualifications of employees in December 2001.

Figure 8 shows that the number of locally qualified staff employed in the private sector in Jersey has increased on an annual basis since mid-2005.

In contrast, the total number of non-qualified staff declined in 2006, before rising in both 2007 and 2008. Most recently, in June 2009, the number of such staff was down by 610 compared with the previous June. The largest decreases in non-qualified staff, on an annual basis, were recorded by the Hotels, restaurants and bars (-240) and Wholesale and retail (-180) sectors.

Within the private sector in June 2009, the highest proportion of non-qualified employees (excluding j-category) was in Hotel, restaurants & bars (51%) and Agriculture and fishing (45%). The Transport, storage and communication sector had the lowest proportion of non-qualified staff, at 6% (see Figure 9). About 9% of employees in the Finance and Construction sectors were non-locally qualified.

The number of j-category staff in the public sector in June 2009 was 640, accounting for almost one in ten public sector employees. This number is down by 50 on June 2008, largely due to the reclassification of j-category employees with at least ten years service.

Unemployment

There is no statutory requirement for all unemployed residents of Jersey to register as actively  seeking  work  with  the  Social  Security  Department.  Therefore,  the  number  of people  registered  as  unemployed  should  be  regarded  as  an  indicator  rather  than  a measure of the actual level of unemployment in the Island.

The number of people registered as unemployed in Jersey in June 2009 was 960, some 290 more than in December 2008 and 520 more than in June 2008.

Figure 11 shows that registered unemployment in Jersey was relatively stable throughout the  first  six  months  of  2008, at around 400 per month, before rising during the last six months of 2008. A component of this upward trend was due to the introduction of the jobseeker'  process  as  part  of  the  Income  Support  benefit.  Unemployed  individuals claiming Income Support are now being called in to the Department to register as actively seeking work.

The most recent figures show that 940 and 910 people were registered as unemployed and actively seeking work in Jersey in July and August 2009, respectively.

International comparisons

In  the  UK,  in  the  second  quarter  of  2009  there  were  28.9  million  people  employed, 1.5 million people claiming Jobseeker's Allowance (the Claimant Count). In Jersey there were  960  persons  registered  as  unemployed  in  June  2009.  People  registered  as unemployed were therefore about 1.7% of total employment in Jersey in June 2009, compared to about 5.2% in the UK7.

6 Figures before June 2008 have been revised to include LTIA claimants who register as actively seeking work. 7 Figures for the UK are from the Office for National Statistics: Labour Market statistics.

In Guernsey in June 2009 there were 32,410 people in employment (22% in Finance, a similar proportion to Jersey) and 430 people claiming unemployment or jobseeker benefits.

The internationally comparable measure of unemployment is the ILO unemployment rate (see Note 5): for the UK in the second quarter 2009 the ILO rate was 7.8%, whilst that for Jersey in the early summer of 2009 (provisionally estimated from the Jersey Annual Social Survey, JASS) was 2.7%.  

Vacancies

The total number of vacancies (full- and part-time) in the private sector in June 2009 (1,950) was the lowest reported for at least a decade and was down by 740 on the previous June.

A reduction in full-time vacancies in the finance sector accounted for almost half of the overall net decrease in private sector vacancies.

Notes

1. The Manpower Survey is a census of some 5,920 undertakings in Jersey, which employ a total of some 49,500 staff (June 2009) including 9,400 part-time staff (who may have more than one job). Prior to December 2001, the Survey was conducted quarterly; from June 2002 the survey has taken place at six-monthly intervals.
2. The "private sector" includes States Trading Committees (former and current), the Jersey Financial Services Commission, the Family Nursing and Home Care Service and the Jersey Competition Regulatory Authority. These bodies, which are subject to the Regulation of Undertakings and Development Law, accounted for a total of 1,470 staff at June 2009.
3. For the six-monthly data of Figures 1 and 5b, short-term variations (largely due to seasonal factors) were removed by calculating a weighted three-point moving average; entries for June 1996 and June 2009, therefore, do not appear in these plots.
4. The definition of "locally qualified" as applied under the  Regulation of Undertakings and Development (Jersey) Law, 1973 as amended  includes all persons in the following categories:

1. residentially qualified persons falling within any of the Housing Regulations, excluding

Regulation (l) and Regulation (m);

2. persons resident for the whole of the past consecutive 5 years;
3. the spouses of (i) or (ii) above;
4. the children under 18 years (or if students under 25 years) of those in (i), (ii) or (iii) above.

The analysis in this report further divides the locally qualified between j-category and the remainder.

The residential status of staff in the private sector was recorded for the first time by the December 2001 Manpower Survey. Each undertaking reported the numbers of locally qualified and non-locally qualified employees; full-time employees with j-category housing qualifications were recorded separately from other locally qualified staff.

5. The International Labour Organisation (ILO) definition of unemployment includes all adults (aged 16 and over) who are not working but are looking for or waiting to take up a job.
6. The historic numbers for the private sector presented in the appendices show some minor differences from those presented in previous Manpower Survey reports; these arise from revisions to staffing levels reported by a small number of undertakings.
7. As detailed in the complementary Manpower Report published by the States of Jersey Treasury and Resources Department, the public sector employment figures from December 2007 onwards have been determined using the new Human Resources Information System. (HRIS). The resulting headcount figure for the public sector now counts employees working in more than one post within the States of Jersey only once; previously such employees were counted as multiples. Previous total headcount figures reported for the public sector (shown in Table 1) have not been revised on this basis and as such represent upper bounds in terms of the new HRIS reporting methodology.
8. Further information about the Manpower Survey is available from the States of Jersey Statistics Unit, telephone 440403, and about the States of Jersey Manpower Report from the Treasury, telephone 440220. Enquiries about the Regulation of Undertakings and Development Law should be addressed to the Population Office, telephone 448930.
