Obs:

On 9 September 2025, the table was updated with preliminary figures for 2024. Please see the footnotes below for more information.

Footnotes

Statistics Norway does not publish figures where there is a risk of identifying individual data about persons or households. The 'rounding up/down' method is used in these statistics to ensure this by rounding cells containing '1' or '2' to '0' or '3'. Preliminary figures
To improve the timeliness of the statistics, the information on self-employed persons utilized here is from 2023, the year prior to the reference year 2024. The mismatch in time of measurement, results in some uncertainty in these preliminary figures. The statistics is updated with final figures when information on self-employed persons from the reference year is available. For more information, see the section 'Frequency and timeliness ' under 'Administrative information ' in 'About the statistics '. Priority labour force status
In this statistic, one prioritised status is calculated for each individual's connection to the labour market, education, and benefits. For those enrolled in multiple activities/benefits simultaneously, the status with the highest priority is displayed (for employed persons, the top two priority statuses). This status is determined by a specific hierarchy. For instance, a person who is both in education and receiving disability pension would be classified as being in education for the purposes of these statistics. More information can be found under the 'Definitions' section in 'About the statistics'. Updated time series
All the tables belonging to the statistics were updated with new figures for the whole time series when final figures for 2023 were published on 21 January 2025. This mainly affects country background and immigration category, and has minimal effect on the figures, except for the statistical year 2022. After the update, 10,000 more people were classified as immigrants among residents aged 15 years and older in 2022. Around 1,000 of them had Oslo as their municipality of residence.
