Incomes Data Services provides ad hoc surveys of pay by sectors in the economy www.incomesdata.co.uk/index.htmlNTOs and trade associations also undertake bespoke surveys to identify working conditions and pay levels.
How do I do this?
National level estimates available through careful analysis of published reports and data collected from trade associations and government based statistics such as the NES. Note, regional based pay/earnings for the DCMS sectors unavailable in all but the broadest industry and occupational groups. Other classifications that may be of use are:

Productivity can be defined in terms of output/GVA per worker. A part-time worker counts as 0.4 of a full-time worker.

Problems aligning with the Cultural Sector on a consistent basis and at a regional level. Alternative approach is to undertake analysis of company accounts/reports and cross checking with data from trade associations.

Information in the Labour Force Survey (and the FEFC and HEFC), will only gauge formal qualifications and under-represent sector accreditations that are gained through work-based learning.
Using the LFS household survey, however, will allow appropriate SIC/SOC mapping to align estimates to Cultural Sector, and on a regional basis. Other classifications that may be of use are:

Estimates of weekly expenditure are available by region, ethnic group and age from the FES. The FES has a small sample. These can be grossed up to official national level estimates from National Accounts www.statistics.gov.uk The recipients of national lottery spend over the past seven years are available at www.culture.gov.uk/national_lottery and Sport England www.sportengland.org.uk.

Regular and ad-hoc surveys by trade associations, local tourist boards and local councils. Company accounts.
How do I do this?As many cultural activities can also be classed as tourist activities, the UK Research Liaison Group www.staruk.org.uk for tourism is a useful starting point for accessing the wide-ranging cultural related sectors. This can be supplemented by data collected from non-governmental surveys, on a case by case basis. Data generally has good sub-national coverage. Estimates based on official data and survey information produced by economic forecasting organisations. Other classifications that may be of use are:

Local economic assessments e.g. Regional Cultural Consortia
How do I do this?
The same technique as calculating total employment: Employee estimate from the ABI can be added to self-employment estimates from the LFS to build up a picture of employment in the Cultural Sector, using the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC). Alternatively, both employee estimates and self-employment estimates can be obtained from the LFS. Note, this estimate will not include unpaid volunteers, or those on government training schemes. Extra criteria needs to be imposed on the data (e.g. splitting employees into full/part-time workers). Other classifications that may be of use are:

How do I do this?The LFS can be used to find out about education and training received by industry and occupation. The LFS will allow appropriate SIC/SOC mapping to align estimates to Cultural Sector, and on a regional basis.

Data Sources/Sets: GovernmentalThe Labour Force Survey (LFS) from http://www.statistics.gov.ukClaimant count unemployment available from National statistics, direct from the Employment Service or www.Nomisweb.co.ukHousehold surveys carried out by Regional Development Agencies provide estimates of unemployed by broad occupation and industry aggregations.
Data Sources/Sets: non-Governmental
Household surveys carried out by National Training Organisations will estimate the unemployed, albeit and broad occupation and industry aggregations.
How do I do this?
National and regional level estimates are available through analysis of the LFS (based on the International Labour Organisation definition of unemployed) and the Claimant count unemployment. Note, aligning the estimates with the cultural sectors may require aggregating some of the SOC codes. Other classifications that may be of use are:

Ad-hoc surveys by local tourist boards and local councils.
How do I do this?
The FES is available on-line at www.statistics.gov.uk. For statistics for research and tourism, a good starting point is the official website of the UK Research Liaison Group www.staruk.org.uk. This groups, which is made up of representatives of the national tourist boards for England, Scotland, Northern Ireland, Wales, Britain and the DCMS, has useful links to relevant datasets and research. Generally good sub-national coverage. Estimates based on official data and survey information is produced by a small number of economic forecasting companies.

The national press and trade journals will highlight recent redundancies and the latter job vacancies.
Ad Hoc employer surveys carried out by organisations including Regional Development Agencies (RDAs) and National Trade Organisations (NTOs) highlight hard to fill vacancies.
How do I do this?
National level estimates available through careful analysis of published reports and data collected from trade associations and government-based statistics such as those collected by the Employment Service. However, aligning these estimates with the DCMS sectors is problematic in all but the widest definitional sense.

Local surveys of participation in voluntary organisations.
How do I do this?
It is difficult to measure the value of voluntary activity because in most instances it is provided free, and hence is not included in standard GVA calculations. Two methods are available to attach a price to volunteering: the opportunity cost approach, which measure income forgone in participating in a voluntary activity, or the market prices approach, which measures the cost of purchasing the service. Alternative methods include multiplying the numbers employed by an arbitrary wage (e.g. minimum wage). Note, this approach will fail to account for the broader social goals and benefits from participating in voluntary activity

The National Training Organisations for community and voluntary sector can provide broad estimates for the size, scale and contribution of the voluntary sector NTO voluntary sector www.vsnto.org.uk
How do I do this?
Measuring the sector's contribution is fraught with methodological problems and insufficient data. What is generally available tends to be at the national level, with regional based data derived from ad hoc surveys. None of the data is purely Cultural Sector specific. For a good background into the whole broader issue see 'Mapping the contribution of the voluntary and community sector in Yorkshire & the Humber', Yorkshire & Humber Regional Forum, May 2001. www.yhregforum.org.uk
