How to read this table
Rows are categorized by type of economic activity, allowing for a comparison of the scale of different economic sectors. The number of persons employed in agriculture or fishing can be compared with the number of workers in the mining industry. Data is organized by year, showing the employment structure of each industry over the specified period
What is visible in these numbers
Five highest values: wholesale and retail trade; repair of motor vehicles (13,482), construction (6,816), transportation and storage (5,917), education (5,872), activities in the field of health care and social services (4,552). The gap between the highest and lowest is 7,931 times. The top five account for 61.5% of the total for all positions — 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%, meaning the table is almost completely filled
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
Table notes: For commercial organizations, the main type of activity according to OKVED2 is determined by the highest 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 highest 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.
