Time series breaks in all sectors due to sectormodifications starting from June 2004 (own main sector branches in the sense of § 9 BWG).
Time series break: Until 2004, employees of supraregionally operating banks were allocated to the province in which the head office is located. Since December 2005, they have been allocated to the province in which the respective branch office is located. Includes marginal employment from the 2005 reporting period.
¹ Number of persons, including part-time employees, employees on leave or military service, excluding blue-collar workers.
² A reclassification among sectors (Bank Austria Creditanstalt AG) from savings banks to joint stock bank and private banks led to a break in the data series in December 2004.
³ Individual banks were reclassified from or to Joint stock banks and private banks, Raiffeisen credit cooperatives, Volksbank credit cooperatives and Special purpose banks in December 2006 to reflect the standardization of the sector allocation criteria used by the OeNB and the Financial Market Authority (FMA).
