Rankings

Definition

People employed in mining, manufacturing, construction and utilities (ISIC Rev. 4 sections B to F), as a percentage of total employment. ILO modelled estimates, ages 15 and over.

ILO modelled estimates: model outputs that fill years without a survey, not survey results. The latest year is a nowcast and is revised as surveys arrive. Sectors follow ISIC; where a country counts the armed forces, they are in services.
