2. 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?'. Hence the numerator excludes participants who answer 'Self-employed' to 'What type of employment is it?'.
