Total Employment

Definition:
Employed Persons are in general all people employed including self-employed, family workers, civil-servants, soldiers etc. People with more then one job at the same time are included only once. The classification of activity depends on the main activity and economic focus of the company.
Numbers describe the volume of employees based on the place of work and not the place of residence. (Arbeitsortprinzip)

Revision 2011

for further details in German please go to: http://www.vgrdl.de/arbeitskreis_VGr/infoRevision2011.asp

The biggest change in the data of Revision 2011 ist that of the classification of economic activity (=Wirtschaftszweig =WZ). With each review of the classification former groups can't be compared to current groupings, therefore older data is not comparable to the new data.
The most current classification system is WZ08, and replaces WZ03, data according to WZ08 is currently only available from 2008, and data according to WZ03 ends in 2009.

Revision 2005

Major revisions of national accounting results are performed at intervals of about five to ten years. Such comprehensive revisions are required to
  • integrate new statistical calculation bases not yet used;
  • apply new calculation methods;
  • change over to a new price basis;
  • introduce new concepts, definitions, classifications, etc. in the accounting system;
  • modernise the way of presentation and introduce new terms where necessary.
