About the statistics

Employed persons are defined as individuals who engaged in at least one hour of paid work during the reference week, or those who were temporarily absent from such work due to reasons such as illness, vacation, or paid leave.

Employment: A person may hold multiple jobs across various firms. Should a person have multiple employments within the same industry (e.g. with two different primary schools), only one employment is selected.
Occupation is based on information from A-ordningen and coded according to the Standard Classification of Occupations (1998 Version STYRK-98)
Contractual percentage of full-time equivalent: This term refers to the proportion of full-time hours an employee is contractually agreed to work, as specified in their employment contract. The employer shall not consider additional work, overtime or different types of absence from work or if the hours have been paid or not. The information on contractual percentage of full-time equivalent is based on what is reported to the a-ordningen. For persons that are paid by the hour without contractual working hours per week, e.g on-call temporary workers, the employer can report 0 as contractual percentage of full-time equivalent. Statistics Norway will then calculate contractual percentage of full-time equivalent from what is reported as paid hours and number of hours that corresponds to a 100 per cent position in the month of reporting.
Contractual hours of full-time equivalent is defined as: Contractual percentage of full-time equivalent/100.
