Notes :
Because of limitations in the data, comparisons of labour statistics over time and across countries should be made with caution. For detailed notes on the data, see ILO 2005.
1 - The percentage shares of employment by economic activity may not sum to 100 because of rounding or the omission of activities not classified.
2 - Data refer to the most recent year available during the period specified.
