ONS publishes a sampling error of 19.4% 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 East Midlands against anywhere else, so this page doesn't.
