List of Tables

Please note: figures for previous years in the tables may differ from those in the Public Sector Employment in Scotland, Statistics for 4th Quarter of 2021 publication released in March 2022 mostly due to reweighting of the ONS Labour Force Survey estimates (reweighted in June 2022) and revisions to data provided for some organisations (particularly in Local Government).
