Letter from Karen Dunnell, dated 3 December 2007:
As National Statistician, I have been asked to reply to your Parliamentary Question asking what percentage of people in each London borough are classified as (a) professionals and (b) skilled workers. (169243)
The Office for National Statistics compiles employment statistics for local areas from the Annual Population Survey (APS) following International Labour Organisation definitions.
The table attached shows the percentage of people resident in each London borough who are employed in professional and skilled trades occupations for the 12-month period ending March 2007.
Professional and skilled workers are classified using the Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) 2000 for Professional Occupations and Skilled Trades Occupations respectively.
As these estimates are for a subset of the population in a small geographical area, they are based on small sample sizes, and are therefore subject to large margins of uncertainty.
