Of the 970 questionnaires only 789 responded to this question. However of the 181 that did not respond, 128 were from households where the only occupants were aged over 60. Only 53 who seemed to have occupants of working age did not respond.

If we discount those over 60's assuming that no response indicates retirement or no longer able to work it would mean there was a 94.5% response to this question.



It will be possible to look at a more detailed breakdown by household, e.g. how many households have both people working or working in the same location.
