Similar estimates from the 2001 Census were provided in table UV33, however there may  be some  differences as these estimates were based on Standard Occupational Classification SOC2000. The rebased version of NS-SeC used in census results uses occupation coded to the SOC version released in June 2010 (SOC2010).
