Employment Indicators

The indicator series covers filled jobs and gross earnings belonging to:

• full-time and part-time employees (these are not distinguished in the EMS or payday filing)
• foreign residents and members of the permanent armed forces with wages and salaries
• self-employed people who pay themselves a wage or salary

Excluded are jobs and gross earnings associated with:

• employees on unpaid leave, and unpaid employees
• workers with scheduler payments
• self-employment income not taxed at source

Note: Scheduler payments are made to people who are not employees, but are employed under a contract for service (for example, labour-only contractors to the building industry).
