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 providing 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. These metadata refer to the first releases of the 2022 data, that is to the data transmitted for the 45 and 70-day EU Regulation deadlines. They do not refer to the revisions of the 2022 data disseminated in June 2023, together with the data for 2023Q1. The only exception is the sheet on June 2023 revisions in the excel file "Annex_2" in the annex section, where the data for 2022 disseminated for the 70-day Regulation deadlines are compared with the June 2023 revisions. |
|||
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 | |||
NACE: sections B to S, except O |
|||
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. |
