Notes:
1 Interpretation of these data need to take account of changes in recent years to Jobcentre Plus procedures for taking and handling vacancies. These figures are not fully comparable over time and may not indicate developments in the labour market.
2 From May 2005, data are based on the 2003 Standard Industrial Classification. Prior to this, they were based on SIC 1992. Though the codes are similar, comparisons across the April and May 2005 divide may be affected by discontinuities.
