Companies: number of local units by sector of activity and number of employees

The dataset contains data relating to local units (ULs) present in the territory of the Municipality of Milan.

The local unit is the physical place where the undertaking carries out its business, so it may coincide with the undertaking or part of it. (Some examples: Agency, bar, store, shop, laboratory, warehouse, professional studio, office, surgery, hotel...). ULs in the dataset are classified by Ateco 2007 UL code (2 and 5 digits). For each entry in the Ateco classification the number of ULs, the number of employees and self-employed persons and the total number of employees (sum of the two previous entries) are reported.

NOTE 1: Data on employees are calculated as a unit of work. In this regard, it is recalled that full-time work units (FWUs) may refer to the work performed in the year by a full-time employee, or to the amount of equivalent work performed by part-time workers or by workers performing double work (e.g. two 50 % part-time workers appear to be 1 work unit). The unit of work is therefore not linked to the individual natural person, but conventionally refers to a quantity of standard full-time work defined by national contracts. This explains the presence of values with decimal places.

NOTE 2: The data are updated to the last available year. Pending final ISTAT data for 2012.
