Total employment (headcount)

Long run time series showing total employed headcount in Jersey and the annual percentage change. Employment 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 employment to be calculated. Previously, only core public sector employment was given, which comprises permanent and contract staff employed by the Government of Jersey (previously named the States of Jersey).
