Estimates of total number of jobs held by employees. Data from Annual Business Inquiry (ABI) broken by sex and full-time/part-time and industry section (2003 Standard Industrial Classification / SIC 2003).
The ABI is a business survey which collects both employment and financial information. Only employment information for the location of an employees workplace is available from Nomis. The ABI samples approximately 78,000 businesses each year, with the sample being drawn from the Inter-Departmental Business Register (IDBR).
[HTML_REMOVED]The ABI estimates employee jobs by industry. The ABI does not cover jobs in private households, jobs in organisations not held on the IDBR, homeworkers, jobs in non-UK businesses or the self-employed. The estimates refer to the location of the head office or main centre of business activity, not necessarily where the employees are based each day.[HTML_REMOVED][HTML_REMOVED]There are significant discontinuities which affect comparisons of the 2006 ABI employment estimates with earlier years.[HTML_REMOVED]The ABI figures are estimates, subject to both sampling errors and non-sampling errors. [HTML_REMOVED][HTML_REMOVED]The ABI is the best source for measuring jobs, rather than people in employment, which is better measured by the Labour Force Survey (LFS).[HTML_REMOVED] http://www.ons.gov.uk/about-statistics/user-guidance/lm-guide/sources/business-surveys/abi/index.html[HTML_REMOVED]Employment information from the ABI is available from the Nomis website under licence. https://www.nomisweb.co.uk[HTML_REMOVED][HTML_REMOVED]Data rounded to the nearest 100. Percentages calculated on unrounded data, and rounded to the nearest whole percent.[HTML_REMOVED]This dataset excludes farm based agriculture data contained in SIC class 0100.
