Compared with annual hours worked estimates solely based on LFS, there are some differences. The LFS data on hours worked refer to the average hours worked per week during the quarter. For NA purposes however, an adapted data set with quarterly volumes of hours worked is generated from LFS. Besides the employment published by LFS, the labour input in NA also includes conscripts and their hours worked, as well as a deduction for persons registered in the population records for Sweden, but employed abroad, and their hours worked. These adjustments are made on the basis of LFS data. The detailed annual NA deviate from the LFS in several additional areas.

Hours actually worked per person in employment are according to National Accounts concepts.

The main source for calculating the labour input for the total economy in National Accounts (NA) is the Labour Force Survey (LFS). In NA the development of the average number of employed and total hours worked in the economy corresponds by and large to the development in LFS for the entire calendar year. However, deviations may occur for specific quarters. For estimations of industries and institutional sectors, the short-term employment statistics and short-term statistics for wages and salaries regarding private, municipal, county council and central government are also used.
