Why this matters

A growing country needs useful firms and good public services. A bigger job count alone does not tell us if pay, care or daily life got better.

What we want to change

Make it easier to start a firm and use proven skills. Judge public work by the service it gives people, as well as its cost.

Checked:

What this does not show: This is a count of people, not all jobs they hold. It leaves out the territories and some groups, such as people on reserves. Counts may be revised. Small moves may be survey noise. A change to data handling in 2006 may affect some older comparisons.
