¹ The smaller estimates may be subject to considerable estimation error because they are based on a small sample.

² Excludes members of HM Forces.

³ Domestic servants are excluded. Locally engaged staff working in diplomatic and other overseas organisations are included.

⁴ Male/female full-time splits at industry level are not available from December 1996 due to changes in survey methodology which reduced the burden on business.
