ONS publishes a sampling error of 13.0% 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 “local government officer” as its own category. These figures are for the wider group “Local government administrative occupations”, which includes this role alongside others. ONS measures local government administrative occupations.
