[1] Source: Labour Force Survey (four-quarterly averages for each calendar year).<\/p>
[2] Figures are rounded to the nearest thousand. Totals may not sum due to rounding.<\/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>"}
