Industry sector of employment

About this topic

Industry sector of employment shows the industry in which employed residents work, based on the main business activity of their employer. It describes the sectors residents are connected to through work, whether they work locally or commute elsewhere.

This topic helps explain the economic profile and skill base of a resident workforce. It is best read together with occupations, employment status, and travel to work, because it reflects resident employment rather than the number of jobs located in the area.

Interpretation notes

  • Industry describes the main business activity of the employer in a person's main job, not the occupation they perform.
  • It applies to employed people aged 15 years and over and reflects resident workers, not the number of jobs located in the area.
