http://www.guardian.co.uk/society/2012/mar/09/half-uk-young-black-men-unemployed 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?
