The number of employed persons has increased by almost 710,000 over the past decade and reaches almost 5.3 million by 26 March 2021, approaching the figure last recorded in the 1991 Census. Among employed with an established status in employment, employees were the most represented (83.9%), with the second largest group being own-account workers, of whom over 718 thousand (15.0%) were identified. In contrast, the number of employers (entrepreneurs with employees) fell to around 53 thousand and represented only 1.1% of all employed with an established status in employment.
