| notes | It is an Office for National Statistics standard classification. NS-SEC categories are assigned based on a person's occupation, whether employed, self-employed, or supervising other employees.
NS-SEC for 2021 is not comparable with the 2011 version as it is based on occupation codes which have changed. For more information on how NS_SEC has changed between 2011 and 2021 see the published guidance.
