Article A2 Footnotes
1 Unless otherwise stated all of the figures in this article, including in Chart A2.1 above, are from the Family Resources Survey ( FRS). These figures do not match official estimates of the number of employees in low-paid work which come from the Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings ( ASHE). The FRS is thought to over-estimate the number of people in low-paid work but is a useful source for examining the characteristics of low paid workers as we are doing here.
