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 data according to the standard EU classification (NACE Rev.2). The most recent QNHS figures available are for Quarter 1 2013. The results indicated that there were an estimated 85,000 employees (ILO) employed part-time with a temporary job/work contract of limited duration.
The table shows the number of employees (ILO) employed part-time with a temporary job/work contract of limited duration classified by NACE Rev. 2 Economic Sector for Quarter 1 2013. A public/private sector employment breakdown cannot be specifically identified within the QNHS. However, in the most recent (final Quarter 4 2012) Earnings, Hours and Employment Costs Survey (EHECS) for NACE Rev.2 (sectors B to S only), public sector employment stood at 381,200 while private sector employment was 1,143,900.
