Brief Description

BBC South Recession: Working longer hours

Detailed Information

This map was part of the BBC South "Mapping the Recession" survey which ran from 7 September 2009 to 6 November 2009. It shows the percentage of all people answering "Working longer hours" by postcode districts.

The data for this map comes from the raw data collected during the time the survey was running, but with duplicate responses for the SP5 postcode district removed. This amounted to 28 x job + 4 x bills responses. No other data was modified. The data for this map only differs from the overview map, which was plotted while the survey was running, in this respect.

The overview map can be found at: http://www.maptube.org/map.aspx?mapid=526

Taking the responses for every postcode district together, the responses break down as follows (total count in brackets):

Response: Longer hours 9% (98) Second/find job 12% (138) Cheaper transport 5% (54) Reduce mortgage or rent 7% (77) Reduce household bills 34% (371) Cut entertainment or holidays 33% (358)

Age: 0-15 1% (10) 16-24 7% (76) 25-34 13% (141) 35-44 23% (255) 45-54 25% (277) 55-64 21% (213) 65+ 10% (106)

Total number of responses: 1096
