Supplementary notes

* Due to changes in the definition of the private and public sectors, estimates for 2000 and onwards differ from earlier years. From 2000 organizations such as the Post Office and the BBC were reclassified from the public to the private sector.
**Changes to methodology from 2006 onwards mean that comparisons with 2005 and earlier should be treated with caution.
***The 2005 OPSS did not cover the public sector.
