Notes	Denominator includes participants who answer either “Yes” or “No, but I would like one” to “Are you currently working in a paid job?” Numerator includes participants who answer either “Yes” or “No, but I would like one” to “Are you currently working in a paid job?”, and answer “Open employment market with full award wages” to “What type of employment is it?".

It also excludes participants answering, “Australian apprenticeship” or “Other” (as well as those in the Supported Wage System and Australian Disability Enterprises).
