Table 1 shows the number and percentage of 16-24-year-olds in employment, education and training for England and the local education authorities (LEAs) of North Yorkshire and the City of York in 2008. Numbers have been rounded to the nearest thousand.
These estimates are from the Annual Population Survey (2008).

There are overlaps between these groups as some people will be both working and in education or training.
Due to small sample sizes, estimates cannot be provided for areas smaller than LEAs. Please note that these estimates are subject to sampling variability and should be viewed in conjunction with their Confidence Intervals (CIs), which indicate how accurate an estimate is. For example, a CI of +/-0.6pp means that the sampling variability ranges from 0.6pp above the estimate and 0.6pp below the estimate. Confidence Intervals for table 1 have been provided in Table 2.
