The tabular statement includes a breakdown of people on the Live Register for more than one year in October 2011 by age and scheme, with the same information for October 2010, and the change between 2010 and 2011. During that period, the number of people under 25 years of age who were unemployed for one year or more remained steady. However, there was an increase of over 32,000 in the number of people aged 25 years or more who were unemployed for one year.
