About this data

Source: ONS, Workforce jobs by industry (JOBS02) and by region and industry (JOBS05), September 2026

• Workforce jobs count jobs, not people (someone with two jobs counts twice): employee jobs from employer surveys, plus self-employment jobs, armed forces and government-supported trainees. Figures are for June each year.
• Sectors are groups of the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC 2007): shops, hotels and restaurants are sections G and I; transport and communications H and J; finance, property and business services K to N; public administration, education and health O to Q; and other services (arts, personal services and households) R to T.
• Figures from 2019 are affected by the reweighting of the Labour Force Survey, which is used for self-employment jobs.
