Dataset is not available.


This table shows relevant economic data for trade and industry sectors, e.g. the number of persons employed, costs and revenues, turnover and other financial results. The figures can be divided by a number of sectors/ branches according to Statistics Netherlands' Standard Industrial Classification of all Economic Activities 2008 (SIC 2008).

Data available from: 2009.

Status of the figures:
All data in the table are definite.

Changes as of May 30, 2023:

The subjects ‘Employer-paid social insurance premiums’ and ‘Other social insurance costs’ are no longer available from 2021 onwards. These subjects have been combined in the new table subject ‘Insurance premiums and other costs.

For the same reason the composite subject ‘Employers' social contributions’ is no longer available in the table.
Figures for SIC 78 Employment activities and subsectors for 2021 and later are not comparable with the results of previous years. From 2021 onwards temporary workers have been included in the subject employees. The payments to temporary workers are from 2021 onwards registered under personel costs. In previous years these costs were recorded as purchase value of sales.
When will new figures be published?

Results are made available circa 15 months after the year under review. In March/April 2024, new figures will be published for 2022.
