About this data
This table presents employment by institutional sector: Non-financial Corporations, Financial corporations, General Government, Households and Non-profit institutions serving households (NPISHs). For countries where information is available, the table also shows employment data for public corporations. The default view of the table is for persons, but users can select alternative views for jobs and hours using the ‘Unit of measure’ filter. Employment covers employees and self-employed people. This table shows total employment according to the domestic concept, which is defined by the location of the producer unit: employees are residents and non-residents employed by resident producer units; and self-employed people are resident and non-resident self-employed people in resident producer units. These indicators were presented in the previous dissemination system in the SNA_TABLE3 dataset.
