Footnotes

  1. Some occupations from ONS’ job advert statistics were excluded from this analysis since the relative occupational distribution compared with annual population survey occupational data were judged in some cases to be relatively atypical. ONS plan to continue improving their statistics, including with an enhanced SOC allocation process, which may trigger revisions of the occupations excluded in future. 
  2. Only occupations which did not have any missing demand indicator data and were not otherwise excluded from the analysis were included in the clustering analysis, 268 out of 412 occupations.
  3. Only four occupations were grouped into group 1. These occupations were grouped together because visa application density was their main demand indicator and this indicator was much higher than seen in all other occupations, indicating these occupations may react strongly to changes to visa rules.
  4. Proportions may not sum to 100% due to rounding.
