ONS Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings, 2025 provisional

ONS publishes a sampling error of 17.5% 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 North West against anywhere else, so this page doesn't.

ONS doesn't measure “quality engineer” as its own category. These figures are for the wider group “Quality control and planning engineers”, which includes this role alongside others. ONS measures quality control and planning engineers.
