Note two minor discrepancies in the sums. The sum of Q3 2010 as reported by the LMRA does not match sum in this table. There is a difference of 8 individuals. For Q1 2011, the sum shown in this table is lower than the sum as reported by the LMRA by three individuals. We take the employed population of the nationalities as fixed and accurate. The LMRA notes that details may not add up to totals due to rounding and missing values.
