| 1. Data is rounded to the nearest 0.1 percentage points | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set |
| 2. Data is subject to sampling variation and is not seasonally adjusted | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set |
| 3. Data covers GB only, not UK | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set |
| 4. The groups described by this indicator reflect the disadvantaged groups described within the former Public Service Agreement (PSA) 8 'Maximise employment opportunity for all’. Although PSAs are no longer used, information on the employment rates for the disadvantaged groups continues to be provided for the purposes of consistency over time. | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set |

| 6. In Q2 2013, the Labour Force Survey moved from measuring current disability based on the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) 1995, to the GSS Harmonised Standard for measuring core disability in line with the Equality Act (EA) 2010. It is not possible to directly compare estimates based on these two different measures. | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set |
| 7. Components may not sum to totals due to rounding. | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set |
| 8. Estimates for earlier years do not match exactly those published in previous Equality Information Reports, because historical LFS data has been revised by ONS to take account of updated population estimates following the 2011 Census. | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set |
