Persons employed, wholesale and retail trade and repair of motor vehicles (Spain)

Persons employed (personal ocupado: paid staff plus working owners, partners and unpaid family members, full or part time) in the local units of enterprises whose main activity is wholesale and retail trade and repair of motor vehicles (CNAE 2009 section G), by the comunidad where each local unit is located, from the regional results of the INE structural business statistics for the trade sector (Estadística Estructural de Empresas: Sector Comercio).

Spain only: the country and the 17 comunidades autónomas from 2018, plus Ceuta and Melilla for the sector as a whole. These are INE regional results: each local unit counts where it is located, and figures are not consolidated within enterprise groups, so the Spain total is higher than the national results INE headlines (trade turnover in 2024: EUR 1,068,257 million here, 1,044,477 million in the national results). A sample survey, so small regions can move a lot from one year to the next. Published about 15 months after the reference year.
