In this bulletin
This bulletin contains detailed public sector employment estimates, including new estimates for Q2
2013. For most sources that contribute to these statistics, the employment is reported for a specific
day in June 2013. The public sector comprises central government, local government and public
corporations as defined for the UK National Accounts.
Estimates of public sector employment are provided on a headcount and full-time equivalent
(FTE) basis for sectors and industries, and also by region on a headcount basis only. In addition,
Civil Service employment is provided by government department and agency. Employment
in Executive Non-Departmental Public Bodies (NDPBs) has been aggregated by sponsoring
department.

Public Sector Employment, Q2 2013 | 11 September 2013
Since 2009, some financial institutions have been classified to the public sector. English further
education colleges and sixth form college corporations have been classified to the private
sector with effect from 1 April 2012. Estimates of public sector employment both including
and excluding financial institutions, English further education colleges and sixth form college
corporations have also been provided.
Estimates of private sector employment are provided. These are derived as the difference between
Labour Force Survey estimates of employment in the whole economy and the public sector
estimates collected from public sector organisations.
As part of this release, revisions have been made to the series in line with the revisions policy for
Public Sector Employment Statistics (see background note 3).
The main uses of these statistics are in monitoring changes in the number of people employed in the
public and private sector in the UK. They are the official measure of UK public sector employment.
Main stories
Total employment in the public sector continued its downward trend during Q2 2013, while
employment in the private sector continued to rise. There were 5.7 million people employed in the
public sector at Q2 2013, just under 11% lower than the peak level seen in Q3 2009. Part of this
fall is due to further education and sixth form colleges in England being reclassified from the public
sector to the private sector in April 2012. When the impact of the reclassification is removed total
public sector employment has fallen by just over 8% compared with Q3 2009.
The number of people employed in the private sector in June 2013 is estimated to be 24.2 million.
Around four in five people who are working are employed in the private sector.
There was a fall in employment in local government. Employment in public corporations remained
the same, and increased in central government. Part of the decrease in local government
employment, and increase in central government employment, can be attributed to the
establishment of the Police Service of Scotland and the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service as
central government bodies. These functions had previously been carried out by regional bodies. In
addition, schools in England continued to become academies. When a school becomes an academy
its classification transfers from local government to central government. Employment in the Civil
Service in Great Britain increased by a small amount, due to the establishment of some new bodies.
Employment in public sector education increased slightly between Q1 2013 and Q2 2013 to 1.48
million, while employment in the National Health Service fell slightly to 1.55 million.

At Q2 2013, total UK public sector employment (PSE) was 5.665 million on a headcount
basis, and 4.657 million on a full-time equivalents (FTE) basis. This was a decrease of 34,000
(0.6%) headcount, and of 22,000 (0.5%) FTE, compared with Q1 2013.
In the year to Q2 2013, total UK PSE fell by 104,000 (1.8%) on a headcount basis and by 75,000
(1.6%) on a FTE basis. Figure 1 shows how total UK PSE fell during each quarter for almost 4 years
leading up to Q2 2013.
In Q2 2012, English further education colleges and sixth form college corporations were reclassified
from the public sector to the private sector (see background note 9 for further details). This
resulted in the movement, from the public sector to the private sector, of an estimated employment
(on a headcount basis) of 196,000. A series of employment in publicly owned English further
education colleges and sixth form college corporations can be found in Table 5a of the Public Sector
Employment reference tables (690.5 Kb Excel sheet). A series of public sector employment which
excludes the impact of this reclassification can also be found in Table 5a.
Total UK PSE reached its highest level of 6.365 million in Q3 2009. When the effects of the
reclassification of the English further education colleges and sixth form college corporations
have been removed, the total UK PSE headcount fell by 495,000 between Q3 2009 and Q2 2013.

UK Public Corporations
At Q2 2013, employment in UK public corporations remained at the same level on a headcount
basis when compared with Q1 2013, and fell by 1,000 (0.2%) on a FTE basis.
In the year to Q2 2013, the headcount in UK public corporations fell by 14,000 (2.9%) and the FTE
by 13,000 (2.9%).
The Q2 2013 levels of headcount (469,000) and FTE (433,000) are at their lowest since Lloyds
Banking Group (LBG) and Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) became part of the public sector in Q4
2008. Figure 2 shows the downward trend in employment in UK public corporations since LBG and
RBS became part of the public sector, and in the year leading up to this.
Civil Service
At Q2 2013, Civil Service employment was 450,000 on a headcount basis and 415,000 on a FTE
basis. This is up by 1,000 on both a headcount and FTE basis compared with Q1 2013, when the
level of employment in the Civil Service was at its lowest in the series, which dates back to Q1 1999.
This small increase is due to the establishment of two new bodies, Public Health England and the
Legal Aid Agency.
In the year to Q2 2013, employment in the Civil Service had fallen by 8,000 (1.7%) on a headcount
basis, and also by 8,000 (1.9%) on a FTE basis. Figure 2 shows the downward trend in Civil Service
employment since Q2 2005, when it was at its highest level of 571,000.
Factors Affecting Employment in Local and Central Government
There is currently an ongoing shift of employment from local government to central government,
as a result of local authority maintained schools converting to academy status. Academies are
classified to central government, whereas local authority maintained schools are classified to local
government. As a result, whenever a local authority maintained school becomes an academy, its
employees move from local government to central government.
Between Q1 2013 and Q2 2013, a headcount of approximately 10,000, and a FTE of approximately
7,000, transferred from local government to central government due to academy conversions. In the
year to Q2 2013 this had caused a headcount of approximately 57,000, and FTE of approximately
42,000, to shift from local to central government.
In Q2 2013, the Police Service of Scotland and the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service were
established. These are central government bodies that replaced the regional bodies that preceded
them. The result was a headcount transfer from local government to central government of
approximately 29,000.
In Q2 2012, the reclassification of English further education colleges resulted in the transfer of
employees from the central government to the private sector, with an approximate headcount
of 176,000. At the same time the reclassification of English sixth form college corporations
resulted in the transfer from local government to the private sector of employees with an
approximate headcount of 20,000.
Figure 3: UK Public Sector Employment in Local and Central Government, Q1 1999 to Q2
2013
Notes:
1. The Academies Act 2010 was passed in July 2010. This has resulted in local authority maintained schools taking
on academy status. Local authority maintained schools are classified to local government, and academies to central
government. As a result, when a local authority maintained school takes on academy status, its employment moves
from local to central government.
2. English further education colleges classified to central government from 1993 to 31 March 2012. They are therefore
included in central government estimates from 1993 to Q1 2012, but not in subsequent quarters. See background
note 9.
3. English sixth form college corporations classified to local government from 1993 to 31 March 2012. They are
therefore included in local government estimates from 1993 to Q1 2012, but not in subsequent quarters. See
background note 9.

Local Government
At Q2 2013, employment in local government had fallen when compared with Q1 2013, by 48,000
(1.9%) on a headcount basis, and by 30,000 (1.6%) on a FTE basis. This was mainly due to
decreases in employment in English local authorities (primarily caused by academy conversions)
and the abolition of the regional Scottish police and fire services.
In the year to Q2 2013 local government employment fell on a headcount basis by 145,000
(5.6%) and on a FTE basis by 103,000 (5.3%). This can partially be accounted for by academy
conversions during the year, and the recent abolition of the regional Scottish police and fire service
bodies.
The decreasing trend in local government employment since Q2 2010 can be seen in Figure 3.
Central Government
At Q2 2013, employment in central government had risen when compared with Q1 2013, by 14,000
(0.5%) on a headcount basis, and by 9,000 (0.4%) on a FTE basis. This can mainly be accounted
for by the establishment of the Police Service of Scotland and the Scottish Fire and Rescue
Service.
The Q2 2013 central government headcount estimate was 55,000 (2.0%) higher, and the FTE
estimate 41,000 (1.8%) higher, than the respective estimates at Q2 2012. This can again be mainly
explained by academy conversions during the period, and the recent establishment of the central
Scottish police and fire service bodies.
Figure 3 shows how employment in central government has steadily risen following the passing of
the Academies Act 2010, once the temporary effects of the reclassification of English further
education colleges and sixth form college corporations in Q2 2012 have been removed.
Public Sector Employment by Industry
For over a year, the NHS has been the industry employing the largest number of public sector
workers. At Q2 2013 the NHS accounted for around 27.3% of all public sector employment. Prior to
Q2 2012 public sector education employed the largest number of public sector workers. Following
the reclassification of English further education colleges and sixth form college corporations
from the public to the private sector in Q2 2012 the public sector education headcount reduced
by approximately 196,000, and full-time equivalent (FTE) by approximately 131,000. Figure 4,
below, shows the impact of this reclassification on the public sector education series, and how, at
that time, it brought the level of public sector education employment below the NHS level.

NHS
Employment in the NHS decreased between Q1 2013 and Q2 2013, by 21,000 (1.3%) on a
headcount basis and by 19,000 (1.4%) on a FTE basis. This decrease was the largest in any
industry over the period. However proportionally, larger decreases were seen in construction, HM
Forces and 'other health and social work'. The decrease can partially be accounted for by the
abolition of the Health Protection Agency. This resulted in the transfer of some staff to Public Health
England, a newly establised executive agency of the Department of Health.
In the year to Q2 2013, NHS employment fell by 11,000 (0.7%) on a headcount basis, and by 6,000
(0.5%) on a FTE basis.
Education
Employment in public sector education increased between Q1 2013 and Q2 2013, by 14,000 (1.0%)
on a headcount basis, and by 11,000 (1.0%) on a FTE basis. This was the only industry to show an
increase in employment in the public sector over this period.
On a headcount basis the Q2 2013 estimate of employment in public sector education was lower
than the Q2 2012 estimate, by 6,000 (0.4%). However over the same period the FTE estimate was
1,000 (0.1%) higher.
Figure 4 shows the significant fall in public sector education in Q2 2012, as a result of the
reclassification of English further education colleges and sixth form college corporations.
Public Administration
Public administration includes all administrative duties of local and central government.
Employment in public administration decreased between Q1 2013 and Q2 2013, by 6,000 (0.6%) on
a headcount basis, and by 3,000 (0.3%) on a FTE basis.
In the year to Q2 2013 employment in public administration decreased by 14,000 (1.3%) on a
headcount basis, and by 11,000 (1.2%) on a FTE basis. Figure 4 shows the general downward trend
in employment in public administration since Q3 2009. The headcount fell by 150,000 between Q3
2009 and Q2 2013.
Other Public Sector
The category 'other public sector' covers all industries that have not been specified elsewhere.
Between Q1 2013 and Q2 2013, employment in the category 'other public sector' decreased by
8,000 (1.0%) on a headcount basis, and by 5,000 (0.7%) on a FTE basis.
In the year to Q2 2013, employment in the category 'other public sector' fell by 35,000 (4.2%) on a
headcount basis, and by 26,000 (3.6%) on a FTE basis. This was the largest decrease seen in any
industry over the period.

Other Health and Social Work
This category covers all health and social work not covered by the NHS.
At Q2 2013 employment in 'other health and social work' had fallen when compared with Q1
2013, by 5,000 (1.7%) on a headcount basis, and by 4,000 (1.8%) on a FTE basis.
In the year to Q2 2013, employment in 'other health and social work' fell by 20,000 (6.4%) on a
headcount basis, and by 14,000 (6.0%) on a FTE basis.
Police
At Q2 2013 employment in the Police had fallen when compared with Q1 2013, by 2,000 (0.8%)
on a headcount basis, and by 1,000 (0.4%) on a FTE basis. Employment in the Police fell in each
quarter during the three and a half years up to Q2 2013. This is shown in Figure 5 above.
HM Forces
Between Q1 2013 and Q2 2013, employment in HM Forces fell by 3,000 (1.7%) on both a
headcount and FTE basis. In the year to Q2 2013 it fell by 11,000 (5.9%) on both a headcount and
FTE basis. Figure 5 shows the steady fall in employment in HM Forces since Q1 2010.
Construction
At Q2 2013, employment in public sector construction had fallen when compared with Q1 2013, by
1,000 (2.4%) on a headcount basis. It fell by 2,000 (4.7%) in the year to Q2 2013.
Figure 5 shows the downward trend in employment in public sector construction from the beginning
of the series in Q1 1999, to Q4 2011. Since then the level has remained reasonably stable.
Public and Private Sector Employment
Private sector employment estimates are derived as the difference between total UK employment
estimates sourced from the Labour Force Survey and the public sector employment estimates
collected from public sector organisations.
In Q2 2012, English further education colleges and sixth form college corporations were reclassified
from the public sector to the private sector. This resulted in approximately 196,000 employees being
reclassified to the private sector. In the Public Sector Employment, Q2 2013 reference tables (690.5
Kb Excel sheet), Table 5a provides estimates of total UK public and private sector employment, with
the effects of this reclassification removed. Tables 6a and 7a show, respectively, the regional public
and private sector estimates with the effects of this reclassification removed.

In Q2 2013, total UK private sector employment had increased by 114,000 (0.5%) compared with Q1
2013. Total UK public sector employment had fell by 34,000 (0.6%) over the same period.
Figure 6 shows the upward trend in total UK private sector employment since Q4 2009, with total
UK private sector employment having shown an increase in every quarter in the two years leading
up to Q2 2013. With the effects of the reclassification of the English further education colleges and
sixth form college corporations removed, total UK private sector employment increased by almost
1.5 million between the end of 2009 and Q2 2013.
The opposite trend can be seen in total UK public sector employment, which showed a constant
decline in the three and a half years to Q2 2013. During this time total UK public sector employment
fell by just over half a million (when the effects of the reclassification of English further education
colleges and sixth form college corporations are removed).
At UK level, the increase in private sector employment has been larger than the associated
decrease in public sector employment in each quarter for nearly two years up to Q2 2013.
Public and Private Sector Employment by Region
Seasonally adjusted series are not available when public and private sector employment is split by
region. Therefore any differences between quarters in the published regional tables may be due to
seasonal effects. Each series begins at Q1 2008.
Public Sector Employment by Region

Nearly all of the Q2 2013 regional public sector employment estimates are lower than the
corresponding Q2 2012 estimates.
West Midlands (19,000; 4.0%), South West (16,000; 3.3%) and Yorkshire and The Humber (14,000;
2.8%) showed the largest falls in public sector employment in the year to Q2 2013.
In the year to Q2 2013, public sector employment only increased in Northern Ireland, although when
rounded to the nearest thousand this equates to 0,000 (0.1%).
Private Sector Employment by Region

In the year to Q2 2013, private sector employment increased in eight out of the 12 regions. The
largest increase in private sector employment in the year to Q2 2013 was seen in London (155,000;
4.3%). The next largest increases in private sector employment over this period were seen in
Yorkshire and The Humber (82,000; 4.3%) and Scotland (62,000; 3.3%).
Decreases in private sector employment in the year to Q2 2013 were seen in East Midlands (39,000;
2.3%), South West (17,000; 0.8%), North West (11,000; 0.4%) and North East (3,000; 0.4%).

Figure 9 shows the proportion of all those in employment employed in the public sector for each UK
region at Q2 2013. Northern Ireland (27.6%), Wales (25.2%) and Scotland (23.0%) had the highest
proportions of all in employment employed in the public sector.
At Q2 2013 North East (22.4%) was the English region with the highest proportion of all in
employment employed in the public sector. North West (20.2%) replaces Yorkshire and The Humber
as the region with the second highest proportion. South East (16.2%) and East of England (16.3%)
overtook London (16.5%) as the regions with the lowest proportions of all in employment employed
in the public sector.
Employment in the Civil Service and in Executive Non-Departmental Public
Bodies (NDPBs)
Civil Service
At Q2 2013, employment in the Civil Service in Great Britain had increased when compared with
Q1 2013, by 1,820 on a headcount basis, and by 1,670 on a full-time equivalents (FTE) basis. This
was due to the establishment of Public Health England and the Legal Aid Agency (LAA), which
increased Civil Service employment by 6,680 on a headcount basis, and by 6,280 on a FTE basis.
Public Health England is an executive agency of the Department of Health, and has taken over
many of the functions of the Health Protection Agency. At Q2 2013 it had a headcount of 5,120, and
FTE of 4,800.
The Legal Aid Agency (LAA) is an executive agency of the Ministry of Justice. It replaces the Legal
Services Commission, which was classified as an Executive NDPB. At Q2 2013 the LAA had a
headcount of 1,560, and FTE of 1,480.
Across the rest of the Civil Sevice in Great Britain, employment decreased by 4,860 on a headcount
basis, and by 4,620 on a FTE basis during Q2 2013.
During Q2 2013, decreases were seen across roughly half of central government departments. A
decrease of 1,940 headcount (1,930 FTE) across the Department for Work and Pensions was the
largest.
Despite the establishment of the LAA, overall employment across the Ministry of Justice changed
relatively little, due to a decrease in the National Offenders' Management Service of 1,340 on
a headcount basis, and of 1,120 on a FTE basis, and a decrease in Her Majesty's Courts and
Tribunals Service of 180 on a headcount basis, and of 160 on a FTE basis.
Executive NDPBs
Note that employees of Executive NDPBs sponsored by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office
have not been included in any estimates, as this would give the estimates the potential to be
disclosive. Employment in Executive NDPBs has been aggregated by sponsoring department.
Employees of the now abolished Health Protection Agency (HPA) are not included. They have
historically been included in the NHS estimates.
Employment in Executive NDPBs sponsored by the Department of Health, excluding the impact of
the HPA, increased by 2,050 on a headcount basis and by 1,930 on a FTE basis. This was mainly
due to a change in status for the Health and Social Care Information Centre, which became an
Executive NDPB on 1 April 2013.
Employment in Executive NDPBs sponsored by the Ministry of Justice decreased by 1,660 on
a headcount basis, and by 1,590 on a FTE basis, due to the abolition of the Legal Services
Commission.
Employment in Executive NDPBs sponsored by Scottish Government decreased by 1,370 on a
headcount basis, and by 1,340 on a FTE basis. This was mainly due to the abolition of the Scottish
Police Services Authority (SPSA). Some of the functions of the SPSA have been taken over by the
Scottish Policing Authority, and some by the Police Service of Scotland.
Employment in Executive NDPBs sponsored by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural
Affairs decreased by 1,040 on a headcount basis, and by 1,010 on a FTE basis. This was mainly
due to the transfer of staff from the Environment Agency to Natural Resources Wales.
Employment in Executive NDPBs sponsored by the Welsh Government decreased by 510 on a
headcount basis, and by 480 on a FTE basis. This was due to the abolition of the Countryside
Council for Wales, whose functions were taken over by Natural Resources Wales.
Background notes
1.
Basic Quality Information
In 2005 the Office for National Statistics (ONS), in collaboration with other government
departments and the devolved administrations, implemented major improvements to public
sector employment (PSE) estimates. Standard definitions for public sector employment across
all departmental statistics were agreed and a single definitive set of quarterly PSE estimates
introduced. A new Quarterly Public Sector Employment Survey (QPSES) was established. ONS
publishes official PSE estimates each quarter as National Statistics, in the form of a Statistical
Bulletin, approximately 11 weeks after the period to which they refer.
Further details can be found in the Quality and Methodology Information for Public Sector
Employment (115.9 Kb Pdf) article.

Relevance to Users
The public sector comprises central government, local government and public corporations as
defined for the UK National Accounts. ONS produces the United Kingdom’s National Accounts.
The National Accounts are an internationally comparable accounting framework that describes
the activities in a national economy. The relevant international manuals are the System of
National Accounts 1993 (SNA93) and the European System of Accounts 1995 (ESA95). As
part of the process of producing the National Accounts, ONS decides on the classification of
institutions and transactions within the economy using the current UK classification process
(81.9 Kb Pdf).
The Public Sector Classification Guide is published monthly by ONS, and provides information
on the classification of organisations and institutions in the National Accounts.
The public sector employment estimates relate to the number of people employed according
to returns from relevant organisations, but they include a number of workers with a second
job in the public sector whose main job is in the private sector or in a separate public sector
organisation. The private sector estimate, which is obtained by taking the difference between the
Labour Force Survey estimate of people employed in the whole economy and the public sector
total, will thus tend to be correspondingly understated by a small percentage.
Headcount estimates are based on the number of employees with an employment contract
who are being paid by the organisation. Employees can be permanent, on a fixed-term contract
or employed on a casual basis. Self-employed, contract workers and agency workers are
excluded.
Permanent employees, as defined in Tables 9 and 11, are employees with a contract with
no agreed expiry date or a fixed term contract of more than 12 months. Temporary/casual
employees are those with a fixed term contract of 12 months or less or employed on a casual
basis.
As well as the headcount estimates, estimates have also been produced for the number of
employees in full-time equivalents (FTE) back to 1999. This is based on converting part-time
employees’ hours into a full-time employees’ equivalent and provides a better indication of total
labour input than a simple headcount.

Common Pitfalls in Interpreting Series
Estimates of public sector employment for Q1 2013 to Q2 2013 are based partly on projections
for some sources. As part of the development programme to improve the quality of public
sector employment estimates, public sector organisations are working towards the production
of timely quarterly estimates. Until this development programme is completed, there remains a
requirement to include estimates for certain sources:
1.
2.
Police (including civilians) workforce estimates for England and Wales are published every
six months (for two quarters) by the Home Office.
NHS workforce statistics for England are derived from a pay system which covers all but two
English NHS organisations. This produces very good estimates of staff numbers. Figures for
the two other organisations are estimated based on annual NHS Workforce Census figures.
This new source of estimates will reduce the need to revise estimates in the future.
The Home Office has provided estimates for the Police in England and Wales. These estimates
are based on projections and may be subject to revision.
All time series in the Public Sector Employment release, except for the regional
series, are seasonally adjusted to aid interpretation. As seasonal adjustment does not preserve
additivity within aggregation structures, relationships that hold in the unadjusted series do not
necessarily hold for the seasonally adjusted series. For example, total public sector employment
equals the sum total of all public sector industry estimates before seasonal adjustment, but this
is not necessarily true after seasonal adjustment.
Public sector employment statistics have previously been published for periods up to and
including Q1 2013. In line with the published revisions policy for public sector employment
statistics (26.4 Kb Pdf), the statistics have been revised, to take account of late information from
respondents.
Tables 1R to 5aR illustrate the size of the revisions in each category.

Concepts and Definitions
Central government includes all administrative departments of government and other central
agencies and Non-Departmental Public Bodies. As such it is wider than the Civil Service. This
sector also includes HM Forces and the National Health Service (NHS). Within education,
academies and free schools are classified to central government. From 1 April 2005, central
government includes the former Magistrates' Courts Service which has been brought together
with the Court Service to form Her Majesty's Courts Service. The Magistrates' Courts Service
was previously classified to local government.
Local government covers those types of public administration that only cover a locality and
any bodies controlled and mainly financed by them. The sub-sector includes all areas of
administrative authorities including parish councils, though these units are not covered by
the current estimates for local authorities. It includes police forces and their civilian staff. All
functions of local authorities are classified to the sub-sector, although trading activities that
produce market output (for example, housing and municipally owned markets) are regarded as
quasi-corporations and appear under public corporations. Local education authorities are part of
local government, as are voluntary aided schools, county schools and, from September 1999,
foundation schools (formerly grant-maintained).
Public corporations are companies or quasi-corporations controlled by government. Examples
include Royal Mail and London Underground Ltd. These companies receive more than half their
income from sales of goods or services into the market place (see background note 8 for details
about financial institutions, for example Lloyds Banking Group and Royal Bank of Scotland
Group, classified to the public sector).
The estimates of Civil Service employees count all home Civil Service employees (including
from 1 April 2005 the employees of the former Magistrates' Courts Service). Civil Service
employees can be classified to central government or public corporations. Examples of public
corporations include the UK Intellectual Property Office and the Driving Standards Agency.
Civil Service estimates exclude the Northern Ireland Civil Service and other Crown servants.
Employees in these groups are included in estimates of central government employment.

Accuracy
Response Rates:
PSE statistics are compiled from a range of sources. The primary source is the Quarterly
Public Sector Employment Survey (QPSES). The QPSES comprises three separate data
collections; the home Civil Service, Local Authorities in England and Wales and Great Britain
public corporations and Non-Departmental Public Bodies (NDPBs). Returned questionnaires
go through a series of automated validation tests to check for completeness and consistency
and to identify any significant movements compared with the previous period reported (and the
same period the previous year). The automated checks are followed up with respondents where
errors are detected or further explanation is required. The target is to clear 95% of test failures
prior to processing results. ONS targets for response to each of the three surveys ahead of
compiling results are 85% (number of respondents) and 90% (of total employment). In addition,
each survey has a list of critical respondents (usually those with the largest employment) for
which special efforts are made to achieve 100% response and clearance of test failures.

Data for non-responders are imputed based on previous returns and known annual changes in
seasonality. It is extremely rare for a local authority, public body or Civil Service department to
non-respond for two consecutive quarters. The data collection is statutory for local authorities
and public bodies (Statistics of Trade Act 1947) and positive action is taken to address nonresponse issues as and when they occur.
So that estimates of total public sector employment can be made it is necessary for further
information to be gathered from external sources.

ONS is now able to produce regional estimates of PSE based on returns from public sector
organisations (Table 6). These supersede those produced using the Labour Force Survey
(LFS) which previously had been used in conjunction with national PSE estimates to produce
estimates by region.

Future Revisions
Statistics for the NHS for England for Q4 2007 onwards are partly based on projections and
informed modelled estimates have been supplied by the Information Centre for Health and
Social Care. These estimates may be revised following the publication of the annual NHS
workforce statistics.
Statistics for the Police (including civilians) for Q4 2007 onwards for England and Wales are
based partly on projections supplied by the Home Office. These estimates may be revised
following the publication of the latest Home Office statistics.
Due to ongoing validation of data from the new HM Forces Personnel Administration System,
figures for Q2 2007 onwards are provisional and subject to review.
7.
Coherence
The estimates of public sector employment in education (SIC division 85) differ from the school
workforce estimates published by the Department for Education (DfE) (formerly Department
for Children, Schools and Families (DCSF)) mainly as a result of differences in coverage and
data sources. DfE estimates focus on the number of FTE teachers and support staff for England
only. By comparison, the ONS estimates are derived by allocating local authority employees to
education using the Inter-Departmental Business Register (IDBR) and the QPSES in England
and Wales. The DfE School Workforce Census school level estimates are used to estimate
employment in academies in England. PSE estimates include all employees reported by local
authorities as working in primary, secondary and adult education establishments including some
groups who are not covered by the DfE statistics, such as adult education staff and certain
categories of support staff. Employment estimates for education in Scotland and Northern
Ireland are also included to give a wider UK coverage. The different coverage of the ONS and
DfE education statistics serve the needs of different users. Those who require information on
the workforce in England who are directly involved in pupils' teaching and learning should use
DfE published statistics. Users should also refer to DfE published statistics to gauge trends in
education employment. Those who seek data on UK public sector employment in education,
in its widest sense, should use the ONS data in this release. For further information on the
differences between DfE and ONS data on education please see pages 44 to 46 of the Public
Sector Employment Trends 2005 (463 Kb Pdf) article published in October 2005.
ONS estimates for the NHS also differ from the headline figure produced by the Health and
Social Care Information Centre (HSCIC). Again, this reflects the wider UK coverage (HSCIC
figures are for England only) plus the exclusion by ONS of general practitioners (GPs). ONS, in
accordance with National Accounts practice, classifies GPs as part of the private sector. ONS
also include ‘hospital practitioners and clinical assistants’ who work in hospitals on a salaried
pay scale but generally work as GPs leading the IC to exclude them from their totals to avoid
double counting. When these factors are allowed for, ONS and NHS data can be shown to be
identical.

Financial Institutions Classified to the Public Sector
On 19 February 2009, ONS announced the classification of Royal Bank of Scotland Group and
Lloyds Banking Group as public corporations from 13 October 2008. To facilitate analyses of
public sector employment estimates by users, the following non seasonally adjusted time-series
has been created to demonstrate the full impact of recent financial corporations’ classifications
to the public sector (based on Standard Industrial Classification 2007, industry 64 (Financial
Intermediation)).

Further Education Colleges
On 13 October 2010, ONS announced the reclassification of further education colleges and sixth
form college corporations to the public sector. ONS, as part of the Q4 2010 publication, took on
employment estimates for further education colleges back to 1993 or their inception if later.
On 31 May 2012, ONS announced the reclassification of English further education colleges
and sixth form college corporations to the private sector, as Non-Profit Institutions Serving
Households (NPISH), effective from 1 April 2012. As such, employment estimates for English
further education colleges and sixth form college corporations are included in ONS estimates
of public sector employment from 1993 or their inception if later, up to and including Q1 2012.
English further education colleges and English sixth form college corporations estimates of
employment are not included in public sector employment estimates from Q2 2012 onwards.
More information on this decision can be found in the Reclassification of Further Education
Corporations and Sixth Form Colleges in England article published on 31 May 2012.
Table 8 provides headcount and full-time equivalent (FTE) series for English further education
colleges and sixth form college corporations, public owned financial corporations and public
sector employment minus English further education colleges, sixth form colleges and publicly
owned financial corporations.
10. The Census
The Census is a count of the population in the UK. It takes place every 10 years and asks
everyone the same questions to give a complete picture of the nation. This information is used
to estimate the likely number of people and households in each area for the next 10 years. The
ONS designs, manages and runs the census in England and Wales. The General Register
Office Scotland (GROS) and the Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency (NISRA) are
responsible for the census in Scotland and Northern Ireland. All three agreed to conduct their
2011 censuses on the same day (27 March 2011) in order to produce consistent and coherent
information that covers the whole of the UK. The Census generated approximately 40,000
temporary public sector jobs across the UK, covering a range of part-time and full-time roles.
The number of people in public sector employment was 6.102 million at Q2 2011, a decrease
of 94,000 compared with Q1 2011. The estimate for Q1 2011 includes 15,000 people employed
on a temporary basis in connection with the 2011 Census, but there were only 1,000 people
employed in these temporary jobs at Q2 2011. Excluding people employed in temporary Census
posts, the fall in public sector employment between Q1 and Q2 2011 was 80,000.
11. Coverage of Academies in England
Improvements to the way employment in public sector education in England is estimated were
first implemented as part of the PSE, Q3 2012 release. Revisions to the estimates caused
by these improvements were at that time incorporated into the revised PSE series, in line
with the revisions policy for public sector employment statistics (26.4 Kb Pdf). Further details
of the change in method and the impact on estimates of PSE are available in 'Public Sector
Employment Statistics - Change in Method for Estimating Employment in Education in England',
published as part of the Public Sector Employment, Q3 2012 release.
12. Publication Policy

Rounded estimates have been used in this table to calculate the comparisons between periods.
Annual figures relate to June quarter (Q2).
Police (England & Wales) are based on projections.
National Probation Service (England & Wales) re-classified from Local Government to Central Government from April 2001.
Magistrates' Courts Service transferred from Local Government to Central Government (and Civil Service) from April 2005.
Estimates for Q1 2011 include 15,000 temporary staff employed in connection with the 2011 Census.
Royal Bank of Scotland Group plc and Lloyds Banking Group plc are classified to the public sector from 13 October 2008. They are
therefore included in the public sector estimates from 2008 Q4 onwards but not earlier periods. Further details on financial
institutions classified to the public sector can be found in background note 8.
English further education colleges and English sixth form college corporations classified to public sector from 1993 to 31 March
2012. They are therefore included in public sector estimates from 1993 to Q1 2012, but not in subsequent quarters. See
background note 9.
Home Civil Service (excludes Northern Ireland Civil Service which is included in Central Government).

HM Forces series exclude locally engaged staff. The series also excludes mobilised reservists prior to 1996 as statistics are not available. Prior to Q2 2008
Q1 = 1 March, Q2 = 1 June, Q3 = 1 September, Q4 = 1 December. From Q2 2008 onwards Q1 = 1 April, Q2 = 1 July, Q3 = 1 October, Q4 = 1 January.
Due to ongoing validation of data from the new HM Forces Personnel Administration System, figures for 2007 Q2 onwards are provisional and subject to
review.
Police (England and Wales) are based on projections and subject to revision.
English further education colleges and English sixth form college corporations classified to public sector from 1993 to 31 March 2012. They are therefore
included in public sector estimates from 1993 to Q1 2012, but not in subsequent quarters. See background note 9.
Data for the NHS are subject to revisions.
Royal Bank of Scotland Group plc and Lloyds Banking Group plc are classified to the public sector from 13 October 2008. They are therefore included in
the public sector estimates from 2008 Q4 onwards but not earlier periods. Further details on financial institutions classified to the public sector can be
found in background note 8.

Estimates are based on where people are employed.
Quarterly changes in employment may be due to seasonal effects.
Royal Bank of Scotland Group plc and Lloyds Banking Group plc are classified to the public sector from 13 October 2008. They are therefore included in the
public sector estimates from 2008 Q4 onwards but not earlier periods. Further details on financial institutions classified to the public sector can be found in
background note 8.
English further education colleges and English sixth form college corporations classified to the public sector from 1993 to 31 March 2012. They are therefore

English further education colleges and English sixth form college corporations classified to the public sector from 1993 to 31 March 2012. They are therefore
included in public sector estimates from 1993 to Q1 2012, and to the private sector thereafter. See background note 9.

For analysis purposes, employment in further education colleges and sixth form college corporations in England are included in the estimates in this table
from the start of the series. Further education colleges and sixth form college corporations in England are classified to public sector from 1993 to 31 March
2012 and to private sector from 1 April 2012.
These series are derived by adding the constructed series for employment in English further education colleges and English sixth form college corporations
to the private sector employment series. This gives an indication of the level of private sector employment if further education colleges and sixth form
college corporations in England had been classified to the private sector throughout.
The back series of employment in colleges prior to Q4 2010 has been constructed and is not based on actual data returns.
Estimated as the difference between Labour Force Survey total employment (all in employment aged 16 and over) and data from public sector
organisations. LFS data refer Q1 to Feb-Apr, Q2 to May-July, Q3 to Aug-Oct and Q4 to Nov-Jan.
