Abstract

(The metadata come from Statistics Finland : http://www.stat.fi/meta/til/tyokay_en.html)

Description
Employment statistics are annual statistics providing data by region on the population’s economic activity and employment. The population for the statistics is the permanently resident population in the country on the last day of the year. The data are mainly derived from administrative registers and statistical data files. The unit-specific data of the employment statistics are confidential by virtue of the Statistics Act. Data can be produced by all regional divisions based on municipalities and co-ordinates, as well as by postal code area.

Data content
The produced data describe the main type of activity of the population, industrial distribution, occupational status, number of workplaces, location of workplaces, and educational level and income of the population.

The reference time period of the statistics is the last week of the year, but the statistics also contain cumulative data for the whole statistical reference year (e.g. on income, and months of employment and unemployment). Data on occupation and socio-economic group are available from the years 1990, 1993, 1995 and 2000.

Preliminary data on employment have also been compiled since 1993. However, when using these preliminary data it should be borne in mind that due to their incompleteness the number of employed persons in the preliminary data deviates by ±1 per cent from the final figure for the whole country. Variation by municipality may be even greater this.
