The reports on occupational structures provide information on the distribution of the employed population into occupations and industries, and levels of education. The data are available under the OEF occupational classification and the OEF industrial classification from 2011 onward.
The OEF classification replaces the previously used Mitenna classification. The change entered into force 1 January 2024. The Mitenna occupational classification was based on Statistics Finland’s occupational classification (Classification of Occupations 2010). The Mitenna industrial classification was based on Statistics Finland’s industrial classification (Standard Industrial Classification TOL 2008). Data gathered after 2011 using the OEF classification will not be comparable with data gathered prior to 2011 using the Mitenna classification.
Note! The reports are subject to data protection measures unless otherwise stated on the page. Numbers of persons from 1 to 4 are displayed as “1–4”, and no corresponding calculated indicators (e.g., averages) are reported. Quantities greater than four will be rounded to the nearest number divisible by three. Percentages are also calculated with protected numbers.
Employed by occupation, industry and education
In employment statistics, occupations have been determined annually for all persons in the employed workforce since 2004, referring to their activity during the last week of the year. The occupation of employed persons is based on their main job. Occupational data is collected from a number of sources, such as employer organisations, central and local government employment relationship registers, statistics on wages and salaries, and business data. The statistics provide information on persons aged over 18.
