Site maintenance

Thanks for visiting the UK Employer Surveys datatool. We are continuing with our programme of site maintenance. NESS 2009, 2007, 2005 and 2003 data has now been restored. Please log in to analyse results from these surveys.

If you were a user of the old site your login details have been brought forward but you may need to reset any saved filters you previously created. We hope you find our new site useful.

This website provides a unique way to access the data behind the UKCES suite of employer surveys, providing valuable information on business management, recruitment, skills gaps and vacancies in detail and to a worldwide audience. Our surveys are designed to be representative of the employer population across geography and sector, and form a rich source of information for anyone interested in the UK labour market.

This website contains the datasets for the National Employer Skills Survey for England (NESS), from 2003, 2004, 2005, 2007 and 2009 and the Employer Perspectives Survey 2010. The UK Employer Skills Survey 2011 dataset will be uploaded onto this site in 2012.
