This table shows registered workers rather than the number of applications made. The figures are for initial applications only (not multiple applications, where an individual is doing more than one job simultaneously, nor re-registrations, where an individual has changed employers). Figures are taken from the government's Accession Monitoring Report May 2004 - March 2007, but exclude the figures for the first three months of 2007.
