"Welcome to the UK Commission for Employment and Skills Employer Surveys Data Tool. This website provides a unique way to access the data behind the UKCES suite of employer surveys, providing valuable information on business management, recruitment, skills gaps and vacancies in detail and to a worldwide audience. Our surveys are designed to be representative of the employer population across geography and sector, and form a rich source of information for anyone interested in the UK labour market. This website contains the datasets for the National Employer Skills Survey for England (NESS), from 2003, 2004, 2005, 2007 and 2009. The Employer Perspectives Survey 2010 dataset will be loaded this summer, and the UK Employer Skills Survey 2011, being carried out in spring 2011, will follow when available."
