** Persons engaged cover comrny employees only; site workers employed by

labour-only sub-contractors not included.

Note: Unlike "orders-on-hand" and "per capita earnings" which are average figure

the total number of persons eng'ged by the firms surveyed is not meaningful information on its own (because this is a panel survey) and is therefore not

shown.
