2 Direct contribution
2.1 Employment Employment in the core UK hospitality industry had been rising steadily since the late 1990s, up until the onset of the recession.
Total direct employment in 2010 is estimated to be 2.44 million in terms of total jobs, including the self- employed. In full-time equivalent (FTE) terms6, total direct employment is estimated to be 1.78 million FTE jobs.
With 2.44 million jobs representing just below 8% of total employment, this makes the hospitality economy the UK’s 5th biggest industry, in employment terms, ahead of other industries such as financial services, transport & communications and construction, and similar in scale to education.
These estimates (and our estimates for the core UK hospitality industry’s contribution to GVA, exports / in-bound spend and investment presented below) are based on detailed data from the Annual Business Inquiry (ABI), Labour Force Survey (LFS), Office of National Statistics (ONS) input-output tables, other sources identified in chapter 1, and additional analysis.
The level of detail used extends to coverage of 4-digit SIC 2007 sectors. Official published data for broader sectors is adjusted where necessary to focus solely on activities which fall under the BHA definition of hospitality. A more detailed technical overview of the estimation approach and sources used is provided in Annex B.
