Construction, structural business statistics, 1999

The local kind-of-activity units employed 135 483 (corrected 13.09.01 at 1050 a.m.) persons in 1999, an increase of 4.3 per cent from 1998. Wage costs rose by 9.0 per cent and amounted just over NOK 35 billion in 1999. All amounts exclude VAT.

Sales of construction enterprises, including state- and municipal-owned enterprises, amounted to NOK 132.2 billion in 1999. The figures at enterprise level are somewhat higher as at local kind-of-activity unit level because some enterprises own local kind-of-activity units that are not engaged in construction. By category, the sales of enterprises broke down into 63.8 per cent building, 27.9 per cent civil engineering work and 8.3 per cent other activities in 1999.

Revised 1998-figures

The figures in the Structural statistics of 1998 are adjusted because of some change in the industrial classification in Norway's Business Register.
