Presumably you are referring to Labour Force Survey data on unemployment by ethnicity. Not such a big sample as the ensus but is published online by ONS and is normally updated quarterly. You can download the excel file for 'labour market status by ethnic group (last updated February 2011) from http://www.ons.gov.uk/ons/publications/re-reference-tables.html?edition=tcm%3A77-222474 (scroll down to A09)
There is ideed an ominous note on the site that says 'This table has not been updated since February 2011. It will be updated again as soon as possible. It is usually updated four times a year in February, May, August and November.' Presumably this suppression of data for four quarters is to do with changing definitions will at some point be rectified? I am attaching ONS's official guide for classification by ethnicity published in August 2011 which I presume to be the relevant document.

Census 2001 as a comparison?. I'd imagine that you'll be able to pull data straight off nomis/casweb, failing which the SARS.

These figures are profoundly shocking.
Also shocking (if true) is the comment that "Data breaking down unemployment by ethnicity used to be routinely published alongside official unemployment figures, but has not been released since February 2011, apparently due to changes in how different ethnic groups are coded by official statisticians."
Can anyone point me to a comparison of the new and old codings please?
And is it correct that no attempt was made to link the new and old codings - thus destroying the time series?
