- - - - E.g. With the closing/ decline of the coal industry
  - - - E.g. If an employee leaves their current job before finding a replacement one
  - - - E.g. Tourism or agriculture industry
  - - - E.g If the government sets a new minimum wage
  - - - E.g. An automobile worker being laid off during a recession to cut costs due to the decrease in demand for automobiles
- - - - Employees could leave as they do not want low paying jobs, and feel they can earn more elsewhere
- - - - Expensive and time- consuming to run
      - Only updated annually
      - It's a sample and so can't represent the whole country
    - - It's more accurate because a survey is sent around the country- you are collecting your data from real people, not a machine
      - It's an internationally acceptable measure of unemployment, so you can compare data globally
  - - - Generally underestimates the real number of unemployed people, as not everybody claims employment benefits
      - Easier to be manipulated- If the governemnt makes it harder to claim JSA, then less people will be able to claim it, so it will appear as if unemployment has gone down
    - - Cheap and easy to collect the data
      - Can be updated very regularly as the systems in place are all computerised
