How to read this table
The rows in the list are categorized by specific economic industries, allowing for a comparison of the contribution of agriculture, mining, or other sectors to the total informal labor force. Values should be compared by year to identify sectors where the share of hidden employment remains stable or changes. All calculations are presented as a percentage of the total number of persons employed in the informal sector
What is visible in these numbers
Highest values: Total (100), Wholesale and retail trade; repair of motor vehicles and motorcycles (32.6), Agriculture, forestry, hunting, fishing and fish farming (24.7). The gap between the highest and lowest is 500 times. The top three account for 73% of the total across all positions — the distribution is heavily skewed toward the top
Observations are annual; total periods 11. 209 of 209 possible values filled (100%); data gaps are virtually absent
