# Persons engaged cover company employees only; site workers employed by labour-only
sub-contractors are not included.
Note : Unlike "orders-on-band" and "per capita earnings" which are average figures,
the total number 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.
