Public Sector Employment in Scotland Statistics for 4th Quarter 2022

Statistics based on administrative records and surveys of individual public sector bodies carried out by the Scottish Government and the Office for National Statistics (ONS). This is a snapshot of employment as at December 2022.


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 4th Quarter of 2021 publication released in March 2022 mostly due to reweighting of the ONS Labour Force Survey estimates (reweighted in June 2022) and revisions to data provided for some organisations (particularly in Local Government).

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.
