The total numbers of employees, expressed in whole-time equivalents, returned for each county and city council at the 31 December 2001 are set out in the following table, together with the numbers of outdoor workers — craftworkers, general operatives and related grades — in each case. The table also gives provisional information regarding 2002 and 2003; the end-of-2002 returns are currently being validated, while the information for 2003 is based on interim returns.
