The figures of the years 1995 to 2020 are final. Data of the year 2021 are also final, but the figures of the variables Full-time equivalent (fte), Employed persons and Hours worked are an exception, due to the late availability of annual data on self-employed persons. These final figures are published a year after.
The figures of the year 2022 are provisional. Since this table has been discontinued, data of 2022 will not become final.

Changes as of December 9th 2024:
None. This table has been discontinued.
