The department says tables on employment by socioeconomic background cover July to September in 2016 and 2019–2025.

- The tables use data from the Office for National Statistics Labour Force Survey, the department says.

Why it matters: The figures are estimates for DCMS sectors and do not include the digital sector, according to the department.

What’s next: The department says it plans to bring the digital and other economic estimates together in due course.
