3. Population and employment by main activity

The present publication presents time series which extend beyond the date of the United Kingdom’s withdrawal from the European Union on February 1st, 2020. In order to maintain consistency over time, the “European Union” aggregate presented here excludes the UK for the entire time series. Interested readers may refer to the Eurostat website for further information on Eurostat’s plans for disseminating EU aggregates and to the Eurostat database for the actual series.
Please refer to the dataset Population and employment by main activity, 2019 archive to access longer time series based on the methodology prior to the 2019 benchmark revisions.
This dataset has been migrated to our new data dissemination platform OECD Data Explorer. You can now access it from here
