TSGB0102 revision: the financial year ending March 2022 figure for local bus has been revised with data from the annual bus statistics.

Employment in transport related occupations

The ONS has recently identified a coding error in Standard Occupational Classification 2020 across social surveys, which affects the analysis of people employed in transport related occupations, which is usually published in table TSGB0116. For this reason, we are not able to publish an updated version of this table until ONS has made the necessary revisions to its data. For more information on the issue, and plans to resolve this, please see the latest ONS update on this issue. We intend to publish an updated version of this table, with revised 2021 data and data for 2022, as part of Transport Statistics Great Britain 2023.
