Labour Market Statistics for Scotland by Ethnicity, January to December 2021
Information about ethnicity in the labour market from the Annual Population Survey January to December 2021.
Highest qualification
In January to December 2021, people in the white groups with a degree level qualification or above had a higher employment rate than people in the minority ethnic groups with a degree level qualification or above (86.7 and 72.7 per cent respectively). Similarly, people in the white groups with qualifications below degree level (including none) had a higher employment rate compared to people in the minority ethnic groups with qualifications below degree level (including none) (67.2 and 46.9 per cent respectively).
The ethnicity employment rate gap was larger for those with qualifications below degree level compared with those with a degree level qualification or above. Although the employment rate for the white groups with qualifications below degree level (including none) was lower than the employment rate for the minority ethnic groups with a degree level qualification or above, they are relatively close.
