Note(*): The figures in column (d) represent the relative weightings attached to the
broad occupational groups. The no. of places to be allocated to each group is to be proportional to such relative weighting. Thus, for instance, the no. of places for group 1 is 33,300 x 6,514/17120 = 12,671.
Remark: The figures presented are tentative, due to limitations in the data available
currently. In particular, the EMI rates are based on the no. of visas issued in 1988-1989 (not 1987-1989), and more precise estimates of group sizes are yet to be made. Changes are likely to be made in due course, but current results may be
taken as close approximations.
