DISCLAIMER - Scottish employee number
The number of employees based in Scotland is derived from the ONS Labour Force Survey 2004 report. This report generates a different number to those accepted by the sector in Scotland. Improve are investigating a number of other reports to ensure the Scottish number is robust, therefore the number of employees quoted in this report must be viewed as directionally until further work is completed.
