Abstract: There is an increasing recognition that it is quality as much as quantity of employment which is important in assessing the positions and progress of local economies.Not least of all in light of the Lisbon Strategy and Leitch Report which emphasise world class skills and the knowledge economy.The paper details how the so called 'Quality of Jobs' framework can be adapted to local area data to produce consistent estimates of local area 'job quality' through time, based on Census, Annual Population Survey and Labour Force Survey sources.The methodology is described and local area estimates shown for illustration.
