*From 25 October 2024 onwards, the Labour Force Survey estimates are produced using population projections based on the 2022 Census. From 1 January 2025, the NACE Rev.2. classification is based on the economic activity of the local unit of the employer enterprise or business, instead of the economic activity of the employer enterprise or business. Data of labour force survey refer to the population aged 15–74. Source: labour force survey, HCSO.
