From the census · Chapter 12 of 16 Read the full chapter →

71 organisations are counted with Travel & Transport as their primary sector — 2% of everything with a sector on record, and the 12th largest of 16. An estimated 87% of the sector is counted, measured against an independent listing rather than assumed.

The 82 listed on this page and the 71 counted above are different claims, not a discrepancy: this page lists everyone who works in Travel & Transport; the census counts those whose primary sector it is.
