Notes:
"Data units" do not readily correspond to the commonly used terms firms, companies or businesses by which employers are sometimes identified. They are roughly equivalent to workplaces but because of the way the data are collected two or more units can be present in the same workplace. For example, a bank may have several branches and offices in a city, each one of these would be counted as a separate data unit. A single workplace can be counted as two data units where there are two distinct business activities at the same site. Each business activity will counted as a separate data unit.
The size bands refer to the number of employees at each data unit, not to the size of the parent company.
Data unit numbers are rounded to the nearest 10. Percentages are calculated on the unrounded figures.
Figures relate to December of each year.
"Derbyshire" refers to the area administered by Derbyshire County Council which excludes the City of Derby.
