In July 2009 CABE, in partnership with English Heritage, commissioned Pye-Tait Consulting to carry out research to identify the total size, scope and labour market status of the green space sector in England. The final report 'Green Space Skills 2009: National Employer Survey Findings.' was released 9 March 2010. The report found that the green space sector as a whole employs about 488,277 people across England in 21,675 organisations. Of these, it is calculated that the green space sector consists of about 15,000
organisations employing about 121,000 people.
