Figures are rounded to the nearest thousand. Totals may not sum due to rounding.</p><p>[3]
Changes in 2013 to the wording of the disability questions within the survey questionnaire
and a move to only reporting those who are disabled within the core definition of
the Equality Act, have led to a step change in the levels of reported disability and
their composition (e.g. numbers in employment). Therefore, estimates of disability
from the Labour Force Survey for 2013 onwards should not be compared directly with
earlier years.</p>
