From the 1st April 2011, the responsibility for the collection of data and production of official labour market and economic statistics transferred from the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Investment to the Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency (NISRA), an agency of the Department of Finance and Personnel (DFP). This transfer mirrored the position in Great Britain where most business surveys and labour market data collection and statistical production have been transferred from the departments with policy responsibilities to the Office for National Statistics (ONS). However, it is important to note that there are no planned changes to the production of economic and labour market statistical publications and outputs as a result of the transfer.
[ 18-01-2012 ] Employment Statistics
There are two measures of employment: the number of people in employment or the number of jobs. These two concepts represent different things as one person can have more than one job. · People are classed as employed by the Labour Force Survey, if they have done at least one hour of work in the reference week. The Labour Force Survey definition of employment covers all employees, self-employed, Government training & employment schemes and unpaid family workers. · The Quarterly Employment Survey and the Northern Ireland Census of Employment measure the number of employee jobs, this definition excludes all self-employed jobs.
