London Employment Jobs: a London level series which includes Employee Jobs and Self-Employment Jobs from 1984 to 2010 with industries by GLA Economics sectors on a SIC 2007 basis 2. A borough level Employee Jobs series 1984 to 2010 (no industry breakdown) Methods and assumptions behind the data are explained in the GLA Economics Working Paper 52
