Footnotes

*From 25 October 2024 onwards, the Labour Force Survey estimates are produced using population projections based on the 2022 Census. The data has been extrapolated back to 2018 using the new base. Data of labour force survey refer to the population aged 15–74. Source: labour force survey, HCSO.
aNot employee: self-employed, member of partnership, member of co-operatives or unpaid family worker. In case of members of co-operatives, no data are published due to their rare occurance.
bBetween 2009 and 2020, persons who were recipients of child care benefits were not considered employed during their absence from work. From those who last worked over 7 years ago, employment characteristics are not available by status of employment data until the end of 2020, so they are placed in the not classified group.
