Preliminary figures

Structural data, preliminary figures, is published for the enterprise level alone, whereas the final figures are compiled also for the establishments. The figures for the enterprise will usually deviate from figures on establishment level. This is due to the fact that the enterprises are registered in the industry subclass that comprises the main part of the activity of the enterprise, and therefore may be registered in a different industry than some of the establishments.

Important announcement: New industry classification
