IT industries are defined by The Swedish Agency for Growth Policy Analysis. These industries do not include call centres, which are not defined as IT companies but may rather be described as IT-dependent companies.
Gainfully employed.All persons deemed to have carried out an average of one hour's work per week during November are registered as gainfully employed. Those who were temporarily absent during the assessment period, for instance due to illness, are also included in the survey. When it cannot be ascertained from a wage statement whether an individual was employed during November, the size of the annual salary is used as a criterion. If the annual salary is greater than the indexed base amount then the person is deemed gainfully employed. Certain benefits, such as sickness benefit and parents’ allowance, are in this regard included as salary.
