Registered Employment: July 2022
Administrative data provided by Jobsplus show that, over a period of one year till July 2022, the labour supply (excluding part-timers) increased by 5.8 per cent, reaching 254,921 (see methodological note 5). This was mainly attributed to a year-on-year increase in the full-time registered employment (14,547) and a decrease in registered unemployment (617) (Table 1).

Registered full-time employment
During July 2022, the accommodation and food services activities (NACE 55-56, 2,622) and the administrative and support service activities (NACE 77-82, 1,977) contributed mostly to the increase in employment, when compared to July 2021 (Table 1). Registered full-time employment in the private sector went up by 14,401 persons to 202,663. Public sector full-time employment increased by 146 persons to 51,333 (Table 2). The number of persons registered as full-time self-employed rose by 587 when compared to July 2021, while the number of persons registered as employees increased by 13,960. Full-time employment for males and females went up by 6.2 per cent and 5.9 per cent, respectively over 2021 levels (Table 2).

Registered part-time employment.
Registered part-time employment in July 2022 increased by 9.3 per cent when compared to a year earlier. The sectors that contributed to the overall increase were the professional, scientific and technical activities (NACE 69-75, 1,049) followed by the transportation and storage sector (NACE 49-53, 747) (Table 3).
