Estimated unemployment rates were up to 17.2% for some groups and as low as 2.9% for others, depending on ethnicity and disability status.

Our interactive analysis of Census 2021 data seeks to examine how unemployment rates vary at the intersection of ethnicity and disability.

The analysis shows that disabled adults were more likely to be unemployed that non-disabled adults, but disabled adults who identified as “White: English, Welsh, Scottish, Northern Irish or British" were less likely to be unemployed than non-disabled adults from 13 other ethnic groups.
