Monthly employment growth rates and levels for small businesses with 1-9 employees (seasonally adjusted), showing the number of jobs at businesses of this size in each region or nation and the monthly change in jobs. National (UK) sample: 26,000 small businesses that run payroll with QuickBooks. Note: the Index uses QuickBooks anonymised data to create aggregated data outputs which are reweighted against official statistics to reflect the general population of small businesses, rather than the QuickBooks customer base. It is not a reflection of Intuit’s business.
