The specific information regarding the full-time and part-time breakdown of net jobs created requested by the Deputy is not available from the QNHS as the survey is a measure of the stock level of employment only and does not measure jobs lost and created from which a net jobs figure could be derived.
In addition while the job churn statistical product provides some information on job creation, job destruction and net jobs created, the figures available are on an annual basis and cannot distinguish between the nature (full-time/part-time) or duration of the employment.
