The number of employees in the information sector in the United Kingdom decreased to 303.84 thousand employees since the previous year. This decrease was preceded by an increase in number of employees in this industry. Number of employees is defined as those persons who work for an employer and who have a contract of employment and receive compensation in the form of wages, salaries, fees, gratuities, piecework pay or remuneration in kind. A worker from an employment agency is considered to be an employee of that temporary employment agency and not of the unit (customer) in which they work.
