The table below shows the number of persons aged 15 years and over in employment classified by Nuts 3 regions and requested NACE Rev.2 Economic Sectors from Quarter 1 2013 to Quarter 1 2014.

It can be noted that the requested data are available from the CSO website and can be accessed through table QNQ40 in the Labour Market and Earnings section of the Statbank Database portal.

* Estimates for numbers of persons or averages where there are less than 30 persons in a cell are not produced as estimates are too small to be considered reliable.

Parentheses [ ] indicate where there are 30-49 persons in a cell, estimates are considered to have a wider margin of error and should be treated with caution

Data may be subject to future revision.

Data may be subject to sampling or other survey errors, which are greater in respect of smaller values or estimates of change.

Reference period: q1=Jan-Mar, q2=Apr-Jun, q3=Jul-Sep, q4=Oct-Dec.
