Key Indicators Refreshed

Futureskills Scotland has refreshed our Key Indicators web resource – the site provides free online access to a wide range of official, survey-based and administrative data for local areas in Scotland. It also has the ability to compare indicators for local areas with Scotland and the UK.

The changes we have made to Key Indicators will allow users to access a wider range of data than before. Users will also be able download themed reports for their local area and compare it with neighbouring areas or with Scotland as a whole.

New features include:

• a wider range of labour market and economic indicators;
• an increase in the number of geographies and comparison areas;
• improved access to indicators with the ability to download reports and spreadsheets; and
• the inclusion of time series data, where possible.

Visit the Key Indicators site to see the changes for yourself.
