* Sample numbers too small to provide reliable estimates

Figures in italics are estimates based on fewer than 30 sample cases

• Definitions and data reliability.
• Tables include rates for earlier years, but rates are presented as 'rates per 100 workers'. Estimates based on people working in the last 12 months are not available.
