We said

Thank you for your query regarding women employed in hospitality in the UK broken down by job level.

The number of people employed in different industries and occupations are estimated using the Annual Population Survey (APS), a survey based on interviews with members of private households in the UK.

Industry on the APS is classified in line with the UK Standard Industrial Classification 2007 (SIC2007). Hospitality is Section I.

Job levels on the APS are classified in line with the UK Standard Occupational Classification 2020 (SOC2020).  This classifies jobs in terms of their skill level and skill content.
