Public Sector Employment in Scotland Statistics for 1st Quarter 2023

List of Tables

Please note: figures for previous years in the tables may differ from those in the Public Sector Employment in Scotland, Statistics for 1st Quarter of 2022 publication released in June 2022.

Changes are mostly due to historic revisions to Local Government figures, as well as other minor changes such as the addition of the Scottish National Investment Bank and the 2023 World Cycling Championships Ltd to the collection. Q1 2022 has also been revised to take into account temporary census workers at NRS.

These tables are also provided in ODS (OpenDocument Spreadsheet) format as a supplementary document accompanying this publication. The ODS version conforms to the Scottish Government's accessibility guidelines.
