Notes on the statistical tables
About results of the labour force survey- The benchmark population for the estimate was revised to the 2005 Census-based population estimates in January 2007 (refer to appendix 3)(PDF:84KB).
- Along with the revision of Japan Standard Industrial Classification (JSIC, Mar. 2002), the data are shown by New Standard Industrial Classification from the January 2003 survey results. As for the "Time series table, Whole Japan", figures of industries which have no or small influence by the revision are shown, which are "Agriculture", "Forestry", "Non-agricultural industries", "Fisheries", "Mining", "Construction", "Electricity, gas, heat supply and water", "Wholesale and retail trade" and "Government (not elsewhere classified)".
- Attention needs to be paid when comparing the change over the year because of the postal service privatization on 1 October 2007.
- Figures may not add up to totals because figures are rounded to ten thousand or "unclassifiable / not reported" is included in totals.
- Figures for "change", "percentage of change", "percentage distribution", etc. are calculated from the figures rounded to ten thousand.
- "0" indicates that the figure is less than half of the given unit.
- "-" indicates that the figure does not exist.
- "*" indicates that the percentage is not computed because the denominator is too small (less than 100 thousand).
