The unemployment rate (4%) is close to the 2001 average (5%).

This rate is below the average for professional occupations.

There were 24,000 workers employed in these occupations in 2001, an increase of 3% since 1994.

The percentage of part-time workers is 10% compared to the 2001 average of 18% and has stayed about the same since 1994.

The percentage of self-employed workers is 22% compared to the 2001 average of 16% and has stayed about the same since 1994.

The earlier-than-average retirement age (57) combined with an expected older-than-average age (41) of worker will likely result in an above-average retirement rate to 2007.

The percentage of women is 47% compared to the 2001 average of 46% and has stayed about the same since 1994.
