Revision to 2012 detailed workforce data
15
Sep
2013
Minor formatting and labelling issues were identified in the 2012 detailed workforce information. The issue affects the "LA SWS Table" tab for the rows between Orkney Islands and South Lanarkshire. Some of the Local Authority and Location/Activity labels do not align with the data correctly which gives misleading results. The "LA SWS Data" tab is not affected by this issue.
The file was corrected and can be downloaded from the 2012 detailed workforce information page.
