Abstract
Public sector employment (based on headcount and excluding public sector financial institutions) rose between 1999 and 2006, but since 2006 has declined by 48,000. Although the movement of local authority staff both in and out of arm's length organizations, typically charities, continues to make comparisons slightly harder.
