  2. 1. Sources used in the NA series on labour volumes • Main sources: • Labour Force Survey: persons and hours • Structural Business Statistics for mining, manufacturing, electricity (C, D, E), finance and insurance (J) and compulsory social security activities (753) • Sector specific sources • Other sources: • Business register • Register Employment Statistics

  3. 2. Estimation of labour input volumes • Labour volumes are available in the Finnish NA (millions of hours) by NACE • They are mainly based on the information from the LFS, which includes total numbers of hours actually worked in a year, as well as annual average numbers of persons in employment • The NA and the LFS give, however different results due to the adjustments done in the NA • A background paper examines the differences of the hours per head of these two sources

  4. Main potential problems • Differences in the concepts of ESA and those used in the other sources (LFS) • Difference in estimated numbers of persons and hours • Specific problems in some industries
