As the governor of the Bank of England said, the referendum result is as expected likely to lead to a significant negative shock for the British economy. Since the referendum there has been no new assessment of predicted levels of employment.

Before the referendum campaign, the UK government published a short term assessment of predicted levels of employment of the UK leaving the EU.
