On 3 September 2024, the table was updated with preliminary figures for 2023. 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 2022, the year prior to the reference year 2023. 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'. Increase in the number of persons with unknown status
There is an increase in the number of persons with unknown status in the 2022 figures compared to 2021, although the number is in line with previous years. Ukrainian refugees with a residence time of less than one year are behind a large part of this increase. These were registered as residents in the National Population Register as of 30 November but are not found around the same time in the included registers containing information on activities and benefits, such as employment, education, the introduction programme for refugees, or social assistance. Read more about this in the section 'Comparability over time and space', under 'Production' 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'. Increase in the number of 'Other employed'
The large increase from 2021 to 2022 in the number of 'Other employed' on level 3 of the priority labour force status variable is due to changes in the data source for recipients of sickness benefits. Read more about this in the section 'Comparability over time and space', under 'Production' in 'About the statistics'.
