ONS blog - Carry that weight: Reducing the effects of COVID-19 on the Labour Force Survey The pandemic affected how we collected our surveys, and in some cases created bias in the results. Jonathan Athow explains how the upcoming reweighting of the Labour Force Survey to take better account of these shifts will affect our employment and unemployment figures. The Office for National Statistics produces the numbers that matter most on the economy and business, people, population and communities. Operating impartially and free of political control, we are mobilising the power of data to help Britain make better decisions and improve lives.
