A national employer survey shows numbers and percentages of people employed in jobs across broad industrial groups. The dataset covers Lincolnshire and Districts, including smaller areas like Wards and Lower Super Output Areas (LSOAs). It is sourced from the ONS Business Register and Employment Survey (BRES) via Nomis and updated annually by Lincolnshire County Council.
