The table shows the estimated numbers of full-time and part-time employees in the public and private sectors in the second quarter of 2009, the latest period for which information is available. The figures are based on the Earnings, Hours and Employment Costs Survey (EHECS). As this is a survey of enterprises, persons with more than one job may be counted twice in the figures but the effect of this on the estimates is expected to be very low.
The EHECS figures do not include self-employed persons or enterprises with less than three employees. Estimates from the quarterly national household survey indicate that there were 330,000 self employed persons in the state in the second quarter of 2009, in addition to the number of employees given in the table.
