Percentages calculated on unrounded data Industry is broken down using SIC 2007 codes. Read more about SIC here The ABI is a business survey which collects both employment and financial information. Only employment information for the location of an employees workplace is available from Nomis The ABI is based on a sample of approximately 78,000 businesses and is used to provide an estimate of the number of employees. The difference between the estimate and its true value is known as the sampling error. The actual sampling error for any estimate is unknown but we can estimate, from the sample, a typical error, known as the standard error. This provides a means of assessing the precision of the estimate; the lower the standard error, the more confident we can be the estimate is close to the true value.
