An error has occurred in Table 6 Regional Public Sector Employment, of the Q4 2011 Public Sector Employment (PSE) Statistical Bulletin.
Labour Force Survey (LFS) employment estimates are used to calculate PSE as a proportion of total employment by region. The estimates of PSE proportions for Q4 2010 released in the Q4 2011 PSE statistical bulletin were incorrectly calculated using LFS data from an earlier period (Q4 2009).
This has now been corrected. Proportions for Scotland are not affected since they are provided by Scottish Government. Proportions for all other regions are affected but those calculated for East Midlands, Northern Ireland and UK seasonally adjusted have not changed.
ONS apologises for any inconvenience caused.
