ONS publishes a sampling error of 17.6% 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 Yorkshire and The Humber against anywhere else, so this page doesn't.

ONS doesn't measure “youth worker” as its own category. These figures are for the wider group “Youth and community workers”, which includes this role alongside others. ONS group combines youth and community workers.
