They did not reach 13 weeks. Approximately 40% of people do not make it to 13 weeks. The next category is those still in employment at 26 weeks. The number is about 7,515. I estimate that there drop-off of 1,880 - in the region of 20% - between 13 weeks and 26 weeks . At the next stage, it is 5,637, a further drop-off of 1,878, or approximately 25%. After one year, we end up with 4,384 people, which is a further drop-off of 1,253, about 22%. Are those rough calculations correct?
