Industrial analyses

Among the 14 industries in the publication the following can be found:

• manufacturing industries such as manufacture of food products, beverages and tobacco, manufacture of textiles and textile products, manufacture of basic metals and fabricated metal products, manufacture of machinery and equipment, manufacture of electrical and optical equipment (manufacture of transport equipment), construction,

• wholesale and retail trade, transport, storage, post and telecommunications, real estate and business activities,

•   public administration and defence, compulsory social security, education, health activities, other community, social and personal service activities.

Characteristics:
-Before the analysis the BérBarométer database was filtered by two aspects. We left out those people who were under the age of 18 and over the age of 62, and in addition those who were not employed full-time. After filtering we used the sample of 9270 items.
The overall sample shows a slight overrepresentation of women as the proportion of women is 56% while that of men is 44%. This is also true for the county subsamples.


In the fisrt part of each chapter of a county or industry we describe the objective characteristics of the county or industry level of the sample, that is:
• what the participation in big industries (industry, agriculture, service industry) is like,
• how the people of the sample are distributed across occupational groups and industries
• what the distribution is like across age and level of education.


We studied the main characteristics of workplaces of people in the sample in a separate part.


There is also a separate chapter dealing with the conditions and situations of job finding and unemployment in the counties and industries, and there are tables about employment conditions and the flexibility of the labour market. Here qualifications and labour market opportunities are focused on, and in addition, opinions about the work are also included.


There is a separate chapter about the circumstances of work and the reconciliation of family life and work. The publication ends with an analysis of the wage and income conditions which includes the examination of fringe benefits and a wide scale of reimbursements of expenses as well.

Attention!
The samples of county and industry levels give the reader a more personal image than the national sample, but they are not as objective. Their objectivity highly depends on the number of the elements in the sample. Samples with large numbers of elements, besides being more representative, make a deeper, more structured analysis possible than small samples
