Figures are rounded to nearest 5.
"-" = 0
"†"=1 or 2
The figures quoted are not provided under National Statistics protocols and have been derived from local management information and are therefore provisional and subject to change.
Caveats:
The figures do not equate to the number of individual nationals who were granted permits because they include those applications approved to extend or amend an existing permit or where the individual has moved to another job with a different employer.  Not all those who were granted a permit took up the job and some may have been refused entry clearance or further leave to remain.
Information is only available up until 2008 as the scheme closed at the end of 2008
