You asked

I am interested in revenue per employee in different business sectors, split by turnover size bands.

I would like:

  • Business Count (VAT and/or PAYE based enterprises)
  • Employment
  • Turnover

Split by:

  • Turnover Size Bands

    • 0-500
    • 501-<10m
    • 10-25m
    • >25m
  • 2digit Industry Subclasses e.g.

    • 01 : Crop and animal production, hunting and related service activities

02 : Forestry and logging
03 : Fishing and aquaculture

... etc

Yearly data:

  • 2022
  • 2021
  • 2020

Format:

  • Excel or CSV

Very much like this:

Is it possible to update with recent years and 2 digit subclasses?

If the 2 digit subclasses is too granular or 'identifying' then please provide by Broad Industry group.
