UK job cuts by nation and region
Only jobs allocated to a mapped constituency appear in an area's job total. The remaining UK jobs stay in a separate group.
These are published records from 1 January 2025 to 9 October 2026. Coverage is incomplete and location detail varies between reports. The figures do not measure every job lost in each nation or region.

Record counts overlap when an announcement names workplaces in several areas, so do not add the record columns. A blank job figure, an unstated UK share or a reversed cut contributes no jobs. How we count.
Constituency boundaries are those used at the July 2024 election. We join exact codes in the ONS constituency and local authority lookup, the ONS region lookup and the ONS country lookup. Checked 11 October 2026. We use affected workplaces, never an employer's head office.
