Table explanation


This table shows relevant data for the economic sector 'transport, storage
and communications', e.g. the number of persons employed, costs and
revenues, turnover and other financial results. The figures can be divided
by a number of branches according to Statistics Netherlands' Standard
Industrial Classification of all Economic Activities 1993 (SIC'93).

The survey questionnaire was changed slightly in 2007. Up to and including
2006, wage subsidies were counted as (other) business returns. From 2007
onwards these subsidies are deducted from business costs. Because of these
changes, results for 2007 are not fully comparable with results for 2006.
The effect of these changes on business returns and business costs are
small for most of the branches.

Data available from 2006 - 2008.

Status of the figures: All data are definite.

Changes as of 1 Sesptember 2011:
This table has been stopped. Two important points in the processing of
the data on 2009 have changed :
- a new version of the Standard Industrial Classification of all Economic
Activities has been implemented (SIC 2008);
- the statistical unit has been changed.
Due to these changes, the figures are no longer comparable to those of the
previous years. Therefore new table has been started from 2009 onwards
(see also heading 3).

Description topics

Jobs persons employed, annual average
A job is a position occupied by an employed person.
Includes all employees on the company payroll minus staff employed
elsewhere on a temporary basis plus personnel hired from other companies,
temps/seconded staff and other employed persons, e.g. participating owners
and partners.
Jobs persons employed
The average number of persons employed in the fiscal or financial year.
Labour volume persons employed
The labour volume of persons employed in the fiscal or financial year, in
terms of full labour years. A labour year is a measure for the labour
volume. A full labour year is calculated by converting all jobs
(full-time and part-time) to FTEs (full-time equivalent). For example,
two jobs
half time (0,5 FTE each), add up to one year of labour volume.
