Researching Business Data: UK Employment Trends (LSST Module)

This presentation analyzes employment trends in the UK using data from the ONS website. It employs quantitative methods and descriptive statistics, including mean, median, mode, and standard deviation, to evaluate employment data from 1971 to 2020. Correlation and regression analyses are used to determine relationships between employment rates in different years. The study concludes that while recording data is crucial for informed decision-making, there is no significant correlation between employment rates across different years, highlighting the fluctuating nature of employment in the UK.

Employment rate
With the above chart it can be clearly visible that the
trend of employment is very fluctuating. This is evident
from the above chart that in some year the rate is less
and after sometime the rate has suddenly increased.
Thus, it is necessary for the coutnry to evaluate the
working and try to improve the level of employment in
better and effective manner.

Interpretation
With the help of the above calculation and application of the data analysis techniques it is evaluated that the
employment is very important to be analyzed. The descriptive statistics evaluated that average employment rate within
UK for the duration of 1971- 2020 was 71.42. In addition to this, it was evaluated that the median rate of employment is
71.8 and most repeated number of employment rate is 72.9 and standard deviation is 2.30634.
Further with help of the correlation and regression it was evaluated that there is no correlation between the rate of
employment for different years. This is pertaining to the fact that in case of 2019 and 2018 the correlation was 0.866 that
is 86.6 % which is very good. But in case of 2018 and 2020 the correlation is in negative which implies that employment
rate has reduced to a great extent. Moreover, with help of the regression it is clear that the significance value is 0.48
which is more than 0.05. Hence, it can be implied that the there is not any significant relation between the employment
rate of one year with another. This is particularly because of the reason that every year the employment rate is distinct
and due to this there is not any correlation within the various years.
CONCLUSION
The above study concluded that recording of all the
necessary data and information is very important for the
company or person. This is pertaining to the fact that when the
proper data will be recorded then this will be improving the
working efficiency of the company. In the similar manner for
the country it is essential to record every data so that proper
decision can be taken in betterment of the society. with help of
correlation and regression it was evaluated that there is no
correlation between the employment rates of different years.
