Commentary
The percentage who said that they work at or from home was around 7 per cent in 1999 rising to around 10 per cent in 2005. It has remained fairly stable at around 10 per cent since then.
The apparent quarter-to-quarter fluctuations in the figures may well be the result of sampling variability. Quarter-to-quarter changes should therefore be interpreted with caution.
