How to read this table
Differences between rows allow for a comparison of employment levels across various economic segments, from extractive industries to manufacturing. By analyzing the series, one can track which sectors maintained a stable headcount and where changes occurred. Comparing specific economic activities helps to understand the structure of employment in Russia's industrial sector over a five-year period
What is visible in these numbers
Five largest values: Manufacturing (6,897), Mining and quarrying (1,054), Manufacturing — production of foo… (1,019), Manufacturing — production of ba… (679.1), Manufacturing — production of me… (551.6). The gap between the highest and lowest is 919.5 times. The top five account for 70.6% of the total across all items — the distribution is heavily skewed toward the top
Observations are annual, with 6 observation periods in the dataset. There are 150 values in the table out of 150 possible, which is 100% — almost no empty cells remain
