1 Some persons are classified as part- or full-time workers although the exact number of working
hours is unspecified, and therefore the figures do not summarize.
2 Part-time = 1-36 hours, with exception of persons with 32-36 working hours who classify themselves
as full-time employed. Full-time = 37 hours and over and the cases mentioned above.
3 The specification of years in the header was wrong and has now (14 August 2003) been corrected.
