Methodological note

La comptabilitat nacional mesura l'aportació del treball a la producció a través del conjunt de llocs de treball d'una economia.

Un lloc de treball es defineix com un contracte explícit o implícit entre una persona i una unitat institucional resident per realitzar un treball, a canvi d'una remuneració durant un període definit o indefinit de temps.

La variable llocs de treball es diferencia de la dels ocupats (variable que quantifiquen les enquestes de població activa). Mentre que aquesta darrera mesura exclusivament persones, la primera inclou tots els llocs de treball que ocupa una mateixa persona (dos, tres, ...). Per tant, només si no hi hagués pluriocupació el nombre de llocs de treball i d'ocupats seria idèntic.

The variable Total includes jobs held by both wage-earners and self-employed.

The annual estimates of jobs correspond to the 2019 GDP Benchmark Revision. Moreover, the estimates for the last three years (t–1, t–2 and t–3) are provisional; in addition, those for the last two years (t–1 and t–2) are an advance of results basically produced with short-term information, whereas those for year t–3 are produced with structural information.

Eurostat requires statistics offices to update regularly (at least every five years) the sources and estimation methods used to compile the economic accounts. All the results of the statistics making up the economic accounts of Catalonia will include this revision when each set of statistics is updated from March 2025 onwards, coinciding with the release of the Annual Economic Accounts for Catalonia 2024 and the accounts for the 4th quarter of 2024. The Benchmark Revision 2024 will be applied to the entire accounting series 2000-2024. In the case of the Spanish economic accounts, the results of the annual and quarterly accounts were published in September 2024 in accordance with the Benchmark Revision 2024.
