How to read this table
The row breakdown allows for an assessment of the labor market structure, with each row corresponding to a specific economic sector. Comparing annual figures shows which industries maintain stable employment levels and which are changing. The list includes sectors such as agriculture, forestry, hunting, fishing and aquaculture, and mining
What is visible in these numbers
The five highest values: wholesale and retail trade; repair of motor vehicles (13,497), construction (6,552), education (5,872), transportation and storage (5,751), activities in the field of health and social services (4,552). The gap between the highest and lowest is 7,939 times. The top five account for 61.7% of the total across all items — the distribution is heavily skewed toward the top
Observations are annual; the dataset contains 6 observation periods. The table has 150 values out of 150 possible, which is 100% — almost no empty cells remain
The same indicator for other periods
These series cannot be stitched together Over the common period 2010 values diverge — Rosstat recalculated the indicator using a revised methodology. They cannot be combined into a single chart: a break would appear at the junction, which did not actually occur

How it is calculated
Rosstat notes: For commercial organizations, the main type of activity according to OKVED2 is determined by the largest share in the total volume of goods produced and services rendered. For non-commercial organizations, the main type of activity is the one for which the average number of employees has the largest share in the total number of employees
1) Для коммерческих организаций основной вид деятельности по ОКВЭД2 устанавливается по наибольшему удельному весу в общем объеме выпущенной продукции и оказанных услуг.
Для некоммерческих организаций в качестве основного вида деятельности принимается вид деятельности, средняя численность занятых которого имеет наибольший удельный вес в общей численности работников.
