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 and from 2017 Q2 by NUTS2 and ISCO too. |
|||
2.3. Coverage - sector | |||
All economic activities defined by NACE Rev. 2, except the activities of households as employers and the activities of extraterritorial organisations and bodies. |
|||
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 (in Hungary within 3 months).
‘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 (in Hungary this period is limited to 3 months); 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 (at the end of the quarter). |
|||
2.5. Statistical unit | |||
Legal unit and budgetary organisations central and local in an aggregated form. |
|||
2.6. Statistical population | |||
The Hungarian Business register's frame covers the statistical population. For all sectors registered and operating in Hungary, enterprises with five and more persons employed, all sectors in the central and local budgetary in an aggregated form and non-profit organisations. |
|||
2.7. Reference area | |||
The whole country. |
|||
2.8. Coverage - Time | |||
Job vacancy data are comparable for all sections according to the NACE Rev 2. classification are available since 2008 (some aggregates from 2006 onwards). Occupied jobs data are limited comparable since 2008, there is a break between 2018 and 2019 data. |

HCSO has been improving the questionnaire and the guidance of JVS. Using the results of this work a wide range of logic tests have been introduced and used in the Quarterly Labour Report. Hopefully the extensive list of logic tests used has revealed all errors of magnitude made by respondents. All questionnaires were approved. Re-contacts were made by the field-workers if it was necessary. The data were tested during data entry by the data provider in Elektra and by collecting data collectors, and also at macro level. Statistics concerning the number of corrections / by the data provider/ have not been made, so there aren't any data for measuring processing errors. |

4.1. Quality assurance | |||
Quality assurance is a continuous work, all HCSO's surveys have to use general rules of HCSO's Quality Assurance Policy. |
|||
4.2. Quality management - assessment | |||
The HCSO introduced a comprehensive quality management system based on Total Quality Management. In this sense, quality management is a job that continuously triggers improvement processes. Apart from the quality of the products and services, the focus is also on customer and user satisfaction, active involvement of the staff, long-term business success and societal benefit. So all areas of the HCSO that are relevant for quality are included. Improvements are systematically implemented (i.e. planned and checked through measurement) in all. |

So far, no survey was carried out on user’s satisfaction concerning JVS. It is assumed that the statistical information meets the real needs of clients. The quarterly JV rate measures levels and trends in different industries. The rate shows the short-term development of labour demand. Forecasting of labour demand is very important for investors and other users. The efficiency, the competitiveness, the competition for markets and foreign investors forced economic management to continuously overview their investing and overall labour policies. The European Union – first of all ECB – also requires measuring of evolution of labour demand. The rate of JV is very important from the point of view of international comparisons and competitiveness. The JVRs are used in formulating industrial relations and wages policies, economic analysis. |

The overall accuracy to ascertain , i.e. the various components to summarize into one single measure, is difficult. Even if it comes to a single dataset. |
||||||||
6.2. Sampling error | ||||||||
Sampling errors are calculated concerning Job Vacancies (occupied posts come from administrative data as of 2019). The Quarterly Labour Report was introduced in 2019 replacing the previous Monthly Labour Report and the quarterly job vacancy statistics report. The reference population of the previuos vacancy statistics was somewhat extended, the sample size grew a bit larger (the sample size reached that of the previous monthly labour survey). The Quarterly Labour Report was carried out partly through a sample. The target population for the sampling survey included the active enterprises with 5–49 employees. The sampling frame for the survey and the number of enterprises were provided by the Business Register (BR) of HCSO. Observational and at the same time sampling units were the enterprises of the BR belonging to the appropriate NACE sections and size groups, and having a so-called obligatory data-supplier status (indicating that the enterprise is active). The data collection covered those units which had been selected from the sampling frame. Data of those non-respondents were imputed by zero, which – on the basis of information on the reason for non-response – were supposed to have sent us a questionnaire with only zero values. Data of the other non-respondents are imputed by the mean value of the amalgamated Budapest–countryside stratum. |

|
||||||||
6.3.1.1. Over-coverage - rate | ||||||||
The proportion of units accessible via the frame that do not belong to the target population, i.e. A good value about the rate of over-coverage can be calculated on the basis of Business Register. The rate of other errors (for example classification error) is noted over the data collection, and the statistician can list these cases and can determine the number of that. The over-coverage could be measured. We assume - on the basis of information coming from other institutional surveys concerning labour market - , that over-coverage rate is very low. |
||||||||
6.3.1.2. Common units - proportion | ||||||||
Multiple listings is not known because all of the enterprises are identified by a unique number. |
||||||||
6.3.2. Measurement error | ||||||||
Electronic questionnaire includes built in checking algorithm and the data-supplier get warnings in case of a mistake. Further validity and coherence checks are applied, both at regional and central level, and in case of serious problems contacts, respondents get a feedback, to correct the errors detected. |
||||||||
6.3.3. Non response error | ||||||||
The difference between the statistics computed from the collected data and those that would be computed if there were no missing values, i.e. non response error is calculated concerning JVS. |
||||||||
6.3.3.1. Unit non-response - rate | ||||||||
|
||||||||
6.3.3.2. Item non-response - rate | ||||||||
Item non-response was not allowed, because of the nature of the questionnaire (compulsory). Field-workers tried to get all information if an enterprise refused to give answers to the whole questionnaire. |

6.5. Data revision - policy | ||||||||
There is a general revisions policy frame of HCSO, which is supplemented by a revision calendar. The revision calendar provides an overview of which sets of statistics are subject to revision and describes the respective revisions cycle by means of a standardised structure giving exact dates. The outline of the revisions cycle is to answer the following questions: When are provisional, revised provisional and final results published? What is the cycle for methodological revisions? Why are revisions made and for what period are data recalculated? Taking into account the various causes of revisions and the different frequencies, the HCSO distinguishes for JVS the following types of revisions: - Routine revisions - Methodological revisions - Unscheduled revisions We have a special revision policy for JVS and it take places once a year after the reference period /year/ in the 1st quarter. |

7.1. Timeliness | ||||||||||
1. For the job vacancies the deadline of returning the questionnaires is 12 days after the end of the reference quarter. For the occpupied posts we get the database from administratice source 35 days after the end of the month. 2. One and a half months after the end of the reference period (quarter) the data are being processed and tested further at micro and macro level. 3. First results are released 70-75 days after the end of the reference quarter in STADAT 4. Short analyses on JVS are published in the Labour Market Trends. 5. The results are transmitted to the Eurostat. |

Cost associated with the collection and production of a statistical product is unknown. The Quarterly Labour Report was introduced in 2019 replacing the previous Monthly Labour Report and the Quarterly job vacancy statitstic report. The Quarterly Labour Report from 2019 contains earnings, wages and worked hours data, too, so the burden on respondents is not comparable to the previous year. Burden on respondents: 36 min |
