Total jobs

Long run time series showing total jobs in Jersey and the annual percentage change. Jobs for the private sector, core public sector and total public sector are also included.

Due to a change in legislation in December 2013, there is a discontinuity in the time series. Prior to this point certain, undertakings (predominately in the public sector) were exempt from reporting and therefore excluded from the figures. The annual percentage change has been calculated on a like for like basis, and therefore takes into account this change. The undertakings that began reporting under the new legislation allowed for total public sector jobs to be calculated. Previously, only core public sector jobs was given, which comprises jobs filled by permanent and contract staff employed by the Government of Jersey (previously named the States of Jersey).
