The surveys ask businesses for their number of employees (male/female/full-time/part-time) on a specified date (the second or third Friday of March, June, September or December). Online questionnaires are sent to a sample of approximately 37,000 businesses each quarter. The combined surveys cover all sectors of the private sector economy and all industries in England, Scotland and Wales (Great Britain) with the exception of 'agriculture, forestry and fishing' and 'private households'. Northern Ireland businesses are not approached via STES. The STES data feeds into the quarterly <a href="https://www.ons.gov.uk/search?q=workforce+jobs" target="_blank">UK Workforce Jobs</a> estimates published by the Office for National Statistics.<br><br><div><span style="font-style: italic;">Linking to other business studies</span></div><div>These data contain Inter-Departmental Business Register (IDBR) reference numbers.
