This dataset provides 2011 estimates that classify usual residents aged 16 to 74 in United Kingdom by economic activity.  The estimates are as at census day, 27 March 2011.

The census concept of economic activity is compatible with the standard for economic status defined by the International Labour Organisation (ILO). It is one of a number of definitions used internationally to produce accurate and comparable statistics on employment, unemployment and economic status. The data will be used by local and regional authorities, central government departments, other public sector bodies, academics and research institutions to understand, and develop policies for local labour markets, employment and unemployment. 

Similar estimates from the 2001 Census were provided in table UV28.

This dataset provides 2011 estimates that classify usual residents aged 16 to 74 in employment the week before the census in United Kingdom by the number of hours worked.  The estimates are as at census day, 27 March 2011.

In 2001, the number of hours worked was a write-in response and the estimates were classified into the  categories provided in table UV41.  The classification used for 2011 estimates matches the tick box options on the questionnaire. These categories have been collapsed from those in 2001 estimates by grouping the first 3 part-time categories used in 2001 and changing the ranges for full-time work by combining the remaining categories. 

Information on hours worked is used to identify working patterns in local areas and target resources accordingly. It is used to gain an understanding, at a local level, of likely travel patterns and times, which can inform the requirements on public transport.  

In Scotland this table is numbered QS604SCa.

Data for Northern Ireland comes from table KS604NI.
