Employee data (number of persons working in an area) by TPU or TPU Subunit
Dear Census and Statistics Department,
I require somewhat detailed employment data for a simulation that I'm working on, but the finest grained data I can get is by district council area. Is there data that exists on employee count by TPU or TPU Subunit?
Yours faithfully,
D Runke

Dear ACCESS-TO-INFO/CENSTATD,
This isn't quite what I'm looking for - I need employee count by area, not working population. Does that data exist publicly?
Yours sincerely,
D Runke
