Quarterly Data Trends
Current data up to 2009 Quarter 2
Next update will be under review as these trends have been taken out of scope of the main quarterly data release
Commentary
The percentage who said that they work at or from home was around 7 per cent in 1999 rising to around 10 per cent in 2005. It has remained fairly stable at around 10-11 per cent since then.
The apparent quarter-to-quarter fluctuations in the figures may well be the result of sampling variability. Quarter-to-quarter changes should therefore be interpreted with caution.
