How we calculated it

We sum published employment links by period across all institutions and employment types in the non-overlapping national table.

3,100 rows match the query; 25 results remain in the summary.

What it means and what it does not

The measure counts employment links. One person may hold more than one link and coverage follows the ONSC publication.

Counts are employment links rather than necessarily unique people; institutional coverage follows the ONSC publication.
