The Total selected industries are estimated to have employed 8.4m persons at the end of June 2006, 4% (or 312,000 persons) more than a year earlier. Almost half of this total employment is accounted for by three industries: Property and business services (with 1.5m persons, or 18%), Retail trade (1.4m, or 17%) and Manufacturing (1.1m, or 13%). Please note that employment estimates for years earlier than 2004-05 are not available from the Economic Activity Survey; see Appendix 1, paragraph 4.
