Employed persons are persons aged 15 and over who performed work, even for just one hour per week, for pay, profit or family gain during the reference week or were not at work but had a job or business from which they were temporarily absent because of, for instance, illness, holidays, industrial dispute, education or training. Due to rounding totals might not correspond fully to totals resulting from summing up values.

Data is to a large extent collected from the Labour Force Survey (LFS) which is an inquiry directed to households, designed to obtain information on the labour market and related issues through a series of personal interviews. LFS adopted a new methodology from 2021 onwards, leading to a break in time series for all countries in 2021. For more information regarding the new methodology and its implications, see this article.

There are additional breaks in time series and some points show low reliability for the Eurostat-sources. Please refer to Eurostat (table: lfsa_egan2) and related metadata for more information.

For key figures on employment and unemployment, please see matrix WORK02. 'Total - NACE activities' may differ to the total number of employed persons in WORK02 for Greenland and the Faroe Islands due to the use of different age spans and data sources.

reporting country

Faroe Islands

The counting of employees is based on the Faroes Custom and tax Authorities records of current taxes, Faroese companies and on the national registration of the Ministry of the Interior. The figures include Faroese citizens aged 16 to 74 years who are receiving wages over the pay-as-you-earn tax system. Included are only those who have at least a monthly wage income equivalent of a days pay of a unskilled worker. Likewise, those are included who are on leave because of childbirth or illness. Because the payment of sailors in particular tends to vary, we count people as employees even if they receive no salary for one or two months if they receive a salary again the following month. Each month a number of workers receive salary from several different employers. To prevent double counting we group the workers by industry according to where the biggest payment originated each respective month. These rules have been applied by us in such a way as to comply with the rules of ILO in the best possible way and therefore to be comparable with other countries. The annual figure is based on the monthly figure for November.
