Employed in tourism-related sectors

Last update 2025-02-06
Explanation

Industries dependent on tourism include the retail trade, zoos and nature reserves, hotels and restaurants, museums and cultural monuments, funfairs, ski resorts, etc.

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.
