| Observations |
The starting year for the data series is 1993. This year is the reference period for the annual survey on the cost of labor, launched in 1994, which is also the data source.
The annual data for 2008 were estimated on CANE Rev. 1, fully harmonized with NACE Rev.1. The estimation method applied is based on conversion matrices of economic activities defined according to CANE Rev.2 into the economic activities defined according to CANE Rev.1.
Building up the conversion matrices relies on data collected according to CANE both versions, by the annually statistical survey on labour costs for year 2008.
