Persona engaged cover company employees only; site workers employed by labour-only sub-contractors not included.
Note: Unlike "orders-on-hand" and "per capita earnings" which are average figures,
the total no. of persons engaged by the firms surveyed is not meaningful information on its own because this is a panel survey and is therefore not shown,
