Table explanation
This table provides information on turnover developments in the Temporary employment sector (SIC 2008 code 78). The data can be divided by a number of branches according to Statistics Netherlands' Standard Industrial Classification of all Economic Activities 2008 (SIC 2008). Job pool companies (SIC code 78203) are not included in the survey. These companies account for only a very small part (1 percent) of total temporary employment sector (SIC code 78). The results are expressed in index figures with base year 2010. Changes on the same period in the previous year are also published.
Data available from 1st quarter 2005 - 4th quarter 2017.
