• Small figures concerning no more than 4,000 persons that are presented in the tables should be viewed with reservations because they are based on a low number of respondents.

• Symbols used in the tables:

  Magnitude less than half of unit employed “0”

  Nil to report or data too uncertain for presentation “.”

• Due to rounding , the sums in the tables may not always agree.

• In the release 3 December 2010 Labour Force Survey 2009 , Time series data 2000–2009 the unemployment rates for higher university or doctorate level (7, 8) were incorrect in Appendix table 25. The corrected data can be found in Appendix table 25 of this release.
