The exact information requested by the deputy is not available. The Quarterly National Household Survey (QNHS) is the official source of estimates of employment in the State. In line with EU requirements the QNHS collects sector of employment according to the standard EU classification (NACE). The table below shows the number of persons employed in quarter 2 of each year from 2007 to 2012 classified by each detailed NACE sector as published by the CSO.
Those sectors requested by the deputy which can be directly identified within the NACE classification are included in the table. Others, such as tourism and agrifoods, are spread across different sectors within the classification and therefore no direct estimates can be provided.
Persons aged 15 years and over in employment (ILO) classified by NACE Rev. 2 Economic Sector, Quarter 2 2007 - Quarter 2 2012.
