The gainfully employed population comprises any person who has worked for at least one hour per week during the month of November. Those temporarily absent during the survey period, for instance due to sick leave, are also included. The same definition is being used in the register-based labour market statistics (RAMS). Some changes have been done as from 2004 years version regarding data over employment. A new source to identify entrepreneurs has been used as well as a minor adjustment to classify employees. For more information see www.scb.se/yrke. Comparisons between separate years should be done with caution. Factors that may complicate such comparisons are new data sources for the Swedish Standard Classification of Occupations (SSYK), improvements and changes in the sources underlying classifications. Starting in 2008 SSYK is based on new classification for municipalities and counties. As a result, several changes have been made in SSYK.
