(see [Stat’Ur n°362](https://www.urssaf.org/accueil/statistiques/nos-etudes-et-analyses/employeurs/nationale/employeurs-2023/effectifs-salaires-juin2023.html)). ** __** ** _Warning (30/06/2021)_**: The introduction since March 2015 of the Nominative Social Declaration (DSN), which replaces in particular the Consolidated Contribution Schedule (BRC), changes the reporting information necessary for the calculation of the statistical indicators presented in this publication. The new source makes it possible to calculate the institution’s workforce on the basis of individual contract data, while the aggregate workforce of these same institutions, historically present in the BRCs, remained transiently present in DSN. The integration of individual data into the statistical processing chain of employees, carried out gradually since 2016, was finalised in June 2021 on the occasion of the publication of the results for the first quarter of 2021\. The workforce data is now 100 % from the use of individual data from the DSN (see [Acoss Stat 325](https://www.urssaf.org/home/observatoire-economique/publications/acoss-stat/2021/acoss-stat-n325.html)).
