To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions how many (a) job searches Jobcentre Plus handled through its website and (b) employers posted vacancies through Jobcentre Plus’ Employer Direct Online service in each (i) region and (ii) Jobcentre Plus district in each (A) year from 2002 to 2009 and (B) of the last 24 months. (264264)

People across the country can search for jobs anywhere in the country via the Jobcentre Plus website. It is therefore not possible to determine which region or Jobcentre Plus district a user lives in.

Information on the number of employers who posted vacancies on Employer Direct online is not collated centrally and could be obtained only at disproportionate cost.
