ONS publishes a sampling error of 18.2% for this figure and asks that anything above 10% is treated as imprecise — too few people in this region answered the survey for this occupation. The figure is shown because it is the one ONS published, but it is not firm enough to rank West Midlands against anywhere else, so this page doesn't.

ONS doesn't measure “construction manager” as its own category. These figures are for the wider group “Production managers and directors in construction”, which includes this role alongside others. ONS measures production managers and directors in construction.
