Occupational roles with the highest location quotients across the UK

An occupation with a location quotient of 6.4 means that it is 6.4 times as concentrated (or disproportionately popular) in that location than other parts of the UK.

Ciphr analysis of the ONS' Annual population survey figures (for the year to December 2023). Only occupations with at least 5,000 employees (in the region/country) were included. Location quotient (LQ) figures have been rounded to one decimal place (calculations by Ciphr based on ONS employee estimates for full-time workers).
