Mae'r ystadegau hefyd yn dangos bod nifer y swyddi sy'n cael cymorth gan y Llywodraeth wedi gostwng yn sylweddol o gymharu â'r flwyddyn flaenorol. Esboniodd Ysgrifennydd yr Economi fod y ffigur ar gyfer 2016-17 yn anarferol o uchel am ei fod yn cynnwys bron 7000 o'r swyddi a ddiogelwyd yn Tata diolch i becyn cymorth gan y Llywodraeth.
The statistics also show that the total number of Welsh Government supported jobs fell significantly when compared with the previous year. The Economy Secretary explained that the 2016-17 job supported  figure was unusually high. This was because it had included  the safeguarding of nearly 7000 jobs at Tata that were secured following a package of Welsh government support.
