¹As from 2015, the statistics are based on new data sources (a-ordningen), see further details in «About the statistics». The total number of employed persons is no longer coordinated with the Labour Force Survey (LFS) as before 2015, and does not correspond any more with LFS’s total number of employed. The figures for 2015 and onwards are therefore not comparable with the figures for previous years. For more information, see the article linked to the 2015-figures: http://www.ssb.no/en/arbeid-og-lonn/statistikker/regsys/aar/2016-05-27

³Including the level 'Intermediate level' which comprises education based on completed upper secondary level, but which are not accredited as tertiary education.
⁴Tertiary education, short; comprises higher education 4 years or shorter.
⁵Tertiary education, short; comprises higher education 4 years or shorter.
