Proportions of employees by hours worked per week, by industry, 1991, 1996 and 2001

The highest proportions of part-time employees are in the exhibition and video hire industries. However, the 2001 Census shows a small increase in the proportion of people working 35 hours and over in the cinema industry. In all industries there is a slight shift away from full-time work.
