The total number of persons on the live register at the end of April 2013 was 417,593; of this total, 76,282 had occupations in construction-related trade categories. When other trades are added which may include some people who had worked in the construction industry the total increases to 104,754. I attach a table detailing the breakdown of this number by category for the Deputy’s information.
