2.1. Data description | |||
Job vacancy statistics (JVS) provide information on the level and structure of labour demand. The country transmits to Eurostat the quarterly data on the number of job vacancies and the number of occupied posts as well as provides the quality report under the JVS framework regulation and the two implementing regulations: the implementing regulation on the definition of a job vacancy, the reference dates for data collection, data transmission specifications and feasibility studies, as well as the implementing regulation on seasonal adjustment procedures and quality reports. |
|||
2.2. Classification system | |||
The quarterly data are broken down by economic activity (at section level) in accordance with NACE Rev. 2 - Statistical classification of economic activities in the European Community. |
|||
2.3. Coverage - sector | |||
The data cover all the economic activities defined by NACE Rev. 2, except the activities of households as employers and the activities of extraterritorial organisations and bodies and defence activities. |
|||
2.4. Statistical concepts and definitions | |||
A 'job vacancy' is defined as a paid post that is newly created, unoccupied, or about to become vacant: (a) for which the employer is taking active steps and is prepared to take further steps to find a suitable candidate from outside the enterprise concerned; and (b) which the employer intends to fill either immediately or within a specific period of time.
‘Active steps to find a suitable candidate’ include: - notifying the job vacancy to the public employment services, - contacting a private employment agency/head hunters, - advertising the vacancy in the media (for example internet, newspapers, magazines), - advertising the vacancy on a public notice board, - approaching, interviewing or selecting possible candidates/potential recruits directly, - approaching employees and/or personal contacts, - using internships.
'Specific period of time’ refers to the maximum time the vacancy is open and intended to be filled. That period shall be unlimited; all vacancies for which active steps are continuing on the reference date shall be reported.
An 'occupied post’ means a paid post within the organisation to which an employee has been assigned. |

6.2. Sampling error | ||||||||
The coefficient of variation related to the total number of job vacancies has been under 10 per cent at the quarterly level in 2022. However, the standard errors related to industries are quite high (CV > 25% for many NACE sections). This has to be taken into account when the results are interpreted, because these estimates are not necessarily reliable enough. This is why the number of job vacancies is not public on every NACE section level, but are mostly aggregates in the national JVS release. For coefficients of variation, see annex. Please note that coverage 1+ refers to establishments with at least 1 employee, and coverage 10+ refers to establishments with at least 10 employees. Annexes: Coefficients of variation |

In general, annual figures are averages of quarterly figures. However, historical annual data up to 2015 also contain estimates on the number of occupied posts by occupation. These data have not been collected in the Job Vacancy Survey, for which reason the Labour Force Survey data on employees was used instead. |
