8 Notes to the appendix tables

• Definitions of the used concepts can be found on the home page of the Labour Force Survey under “Concepts and definitions”, and its pdf version.

• Small figures concerning no more than 4,000 persons that are presented in the tables should be viewed with reservations because they are based on a low number of respondents.

• Symbols used in the tables:

  Magnitude less than half of unit employed “0”

  Nil to report or data too uncertain for presentation “.”

• Due to rounding , the sums in the tables may not always agree.

• Data on education concerning 2013 will only become available later.

• From 2012 onwards, data on occupations are published according to the Classification of Occupations 2010. Data are not comparable with earlier data based on the Classification of Occupations 2001. Further information http://www.stat.fi/meta/luokitukset/ammatti/001-2010/index_en.html .

• Data according to the socio-economic groups are not fully comparable with earlier data starting from 2011. From 2011 onwards , the socio-economic groups are based on the new Classification of Occupations 2010. Further information http://tilastokeskus.fi/til/tyti/tyti_2012-03-09_uut_001_en.html .

• The category “total” of data by industry and by employer sector includes those whose industrial status or employer sector is unknown.

• Starting from 2009, data concerning overtime work are not fully comparable with previous data due to the changed mode of asking.
