Annex A
The figures are due to be published in an article in the July edition of Economic and Labour
Market Review on 14 July 2008.
We have extracted the latest estimates from the article to allow for an earlier response to you,
these are as follows:
2007 Q4 public sector employment (headcount, rolling four quarter average) by country of
workplace:
4,670,000 England
578,000 Scotland
314,000 Wales
220,000 N Ireland
*
2007 Q4 public sector employment rate by country of workplace:
28.7% N Ireland
23.6% Wales
22.5% Scotland
19.0% England
Notes:
1 Public sector employment estimates for Scotland are published by Scottish Government on
a quarterly basis back to Q1 1999 from administrative records and surveys of public
sector organisations in Scotland.
2 Public sector statistics for Northern Ireland relate to the number of public sector jobs
rather than the number of people working in the public sector. The percentages for
Northern Ireland as a proportion of all employment will differ from DETINI estimates
expressed as a proportion of all jobs. HM Forces figures are not included in Northern
Ireland estimates.
3 Sources : Labour Force Survey, returns from public sector organisations (ONS, Scottish
Government & Department of Enterprise, Trade and Investment for Northern Ireland).
