Employment by Industry Group, Organized by Country
Employment statistics by industry group are included here.  Employment reflects wage earners only except in the case of agricultural employment in which total farm labor is included.  Employment is lined up to both ILO and UNIDO estimates of employment.  In some cases estimations based on employment to production data from other countries are used to fill in details by industry group.  In all cases employment scaled to totals based on ILO or national source data at the 1 or 2  digit ISIC Revision 2 or 3 level.    Data Source: ILO and UNIDO data by Manufacturing Industry, US BLS Detail (services), and ILO 1 and 2 digit ISIC Revision 2 and 3 Forecasting Methods: Integrated system based on results from  models for personal consumption expenditure by category, government spending, intermediate demand by ISIC, and investment demand by ISIC, commodity prices, manufactured wages, employment by industry group, imports by  and exports by ISIC using an iterative process to insure partial convergence.    Applications:  Companies selling services or products that are highly dependent upon numbers of employees (total or by occupational groups) have used this type of data to size opportunities.  For example computer hardware manufacturers have used employment data and employment by occupational group data to estimate size of potential market for future hardware sales. 
Metric & Classification Groups: Number of Full-time Employees (Optional Employment by Industry by Occupational Groups)
Method for Filling Missing Observations: Econometric, Pooled-cross secitonal time series based on sample of data drawn from countries of similar size and stage of economic development.
