In March 2021, registered full-time employment increased by 0.9 per cent while part-time employment as a primary job decreased by 0.6 per cent when compared to the corresponding month in 2020.

Registered Employment: January-March 2021

Administrative data provided by Jobsplus shows that, over a period of one year, the labour supply (excluding part-timers) in March 2021 increased by 1.0 per cent, reaching 237,671 (see methodological note 5). This was mainly attributed to a year-on-year increase in the full-time registered employment (2,081) and an increase in registered unemployment (262) (Table 1).

Registered full-time employment

In March 2021, the highest increase in employment was brought about by human health and social work activities (NACE 86-88) and public administration and defence, compulsory social security (NACE 84), with 1,138 and 1,066 persons respectively, when compared to the same month last year (Table 1). Registered full-time employment in the private sector went up 731 persons to 184,476. Public sector full-time employment increased by 1,350 persons to 50,808 (Table 2).

The number of persons registered as full-time self-employed rose by 1,084 when compared to March 2020, while the number of persons registered as employees increased by 997. Full-time employment for males and females went up by 0.6 per cent and 1.4 per cent respectively over 2020 levels (Table 2).

Registered part-time employment

Registered part-time employment in March 2021 increased by 3.9 per cent when compared to the same month in 2020. Professional, scientific and technical activities (NACE 69-75) followed by transportation and storage (NACE 49-53) recorded the highest increases in part-time employment with 433 and 372 respectively. On the other hand, employment within the accommodation and food services activities (NACE 55-56) decreased by 352 when compared to March 2020 (Table 3).

The number of part-timers who also held a full-time job amounted to 33,047 up by 8.7 per cent, when compared to the corresponding month in 2020. Employed persons whose part-time job was their primary occupation totalled 31,899, down by 0.6 per cent when compared to the same month in 2020 (Table 4) ■

Methodological Notes

Definitions:

The data provided in this release, including the relevant classifications, is based on administrative records held at Jobsplus.The information contained in this release may be subject to revision.

The National Statistics Office publishes, on a quarterly basis, another set of statistics on employment and unemploymentbased on the Labour Force Survey (LFS). When compiling LFS statistics, the NSO adopts the International LabourOrganisation (ILO) definition, an internationally agreed definition on employment and unemployment. This definition has alsobeen adopted by Eurostat and is used by all EU Member States. More details regarding the methodology used for thecompilation of employment and unemployment statistics from the LFS may be found in quarterly LFS news releases.

Since Jobsplus records and LFS results measure two different facets of employment and unemployment, these are notcomparable. Users are therefore cautioned that these two sets of statistics should not be used interchangeably.

Full-time and part-time status is determined by the employer's declaration (or that made by a self-employed person) in theengagement form which is required to be sent to Jobsplus upon commencement of employment.

Apprentices are included under their respective economic activity.
