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 | |||
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.
‘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. |

In the web-based reporting system (used by 99 per cent of the establishments which answer the survey), the respondents get automatically a warning if the reported number of job vacancies is very low or very high in relation to the number of employees. All the replies from the questionnaire are loaded into a revision system where the control is activated under similar conditions. The local units suspected to have answered on behalf of the entire enterprise are then contacted (by e-mail or telephone) to confirm the reported figure. |

6.4. Seasonal adjustment | ||||||||
The SA quality report for 2020 is a bit different from other years. Because of the outbreak of Covid-19 and the way this is treated in JVS statistics, all new observations from the 2nd quarter of 2020 asre treated as level shifts in the seasonal adjustment. Thiu, no new information is effecting the seasonal pattern in data after 1st quarter og 2020. Because of this, we have done a concurrent adjustment after the 4th quarter of 2020.
