Furthermore, the table includes the corresponding data for the previous quarter and the same quarter one year ago, as well as the corresponding quarterly and annual rates of change. (3) It should be noted that in 2011 the new classification ISCO-08 was used for the classification of occupations, and as a result, there is a sudden decrease of the Highly skilled non-manual occupations and a corresponding increase of Low skilled non-manual. Nevertheless, the increase in the percentage of Low skilled non manual occupations continues after 2011. 4

EXPLANATORY NOTES Labour Force Survey Legislation The Labour Force Survey produces estimates since 1981 (second Quarter of the year). From 1998 onwards it is a continuous quarterly survey. The main statistical objective of the Labour Force Survey is to divide the population of working age (15 years and over) into three mutually exclusive and exhaustive groups - persons in employment, unemployed persons and inactive persons. In addition, the Labour Force Survey collects information on demographic characteristics, main job characteristics, the existence and characteristics of a second job, educational attainment, participation in education, previous working experience and search of a job. The current survey is completely harmonized with European legislation. The principal legal act is Council Regulation (EC) No. 577/98 that stipulates the provisions on design, survey characteristics and decision-making processes. The survey framework was amended by successive Commission Regulations (Regulation (EC) No 1372/2007, Regulation (EC) No 2257/2003, Regulation (EC) No 1991/2002). Reference Period The sample of the Labour Force Survey is equally allocated to the 4 (or 5) weeks of the month. Every selected household is assigned to a specific week, the reference week, running from Monday to Sunday. for employment, the reference period is the reference week, for employment seeking, the reference period is the reference week and the previous 3 weeks. Coverage The survey covers all members of the private households, who are residing at least one year in Greece and excludes the members of collective households (i.e. hospitals, hotels, military camps, asylums, homes for the elderly, orphanages, etc). Methodology The estimates of the Labour Force Survey are produced by a suitable unbiased estimator, which takes in to account: a) the probability of selection of every sampled household, b) the response rate in every primary sampling unit, c) the allocation of population by NUTS 2 Regions, gender and age group. Definitions Employed: persons aged 15 years or older, who during the reference week worked even for just one hour for pay or profit or they were working in the family business, or they were not at work but had a job or business from which they were temporarily absent. Unemployed: persons aged 15-74, who were without work during the reference week (they were not classified as employed), were currently available for work and were either actively seeking work in the past four weeks or had already found a job to start within the next three months. Inactive: persons who are neither classified as employed nor as unemployed. Economically active population (labour force): persons either employed or unemployed. Unemployment Rate: the ratio of unemployed divided by total labour force. Regions: the 13 NUTS 2 areas in which Greece is divided. Educational level: the highest completed level of education provided in 4 categories. The category Less than primary includes persons that never went to school. The category Primary education includes persons that completed primary school, and the category Secondary education includes persons that completed at most Lyceum - Upper Secondary Education. The category Tertiary education includes also persons that completed master or PHD. 10

Self-employed with employees: persons that who work in their own business, professional practice or farm for the purpose of earning a profit, and who employ at least one other person. Self-employed without employees: persons that who work in their own business, professional practice or farm for the purpose of earning a profit, and who do not employ any other person. Employees: persons who work for a public or private employer and who receive compensation in the form of wages, salaries, fees, gratuities, payment by results or payment in kind. Family workers: persons who help another member of the family to run an agricultural holding or other business, provided they are not considered as employees. Part-time job: a workers job where the normal hours of work are less than those of comparable fulltime workers. The distinction between full-time and part-time job is based on the spontaneous answer given by the respondent. Temporary work: work of employees, which will terminate either after a period fixed in advance, or after a period not known in advance, but nevertheless defined by objective criteria, such as the completion of an assignment or the period of absence of an employee temporarily replaced. Duration of unemployment: the time that the respondent is looking for work and, simultaneously, had no job. Sector of economic activity: the classification of economic activities is based on the products that a business produces or the services that provides. Since 2008, a classification equivalent to NACE Rev. 2 (6) is used. Labour Force Survey collects information at 3-digit level for the main job and at 2-digit level for the second and the previous job. in Table 3, the NACE Rev.2 classification is used at 1-digit level, in Graphs 3 and 5, for the classification of economic activity, the following typologies are used: Typology of economic sector categories correspondence with 2-digit NACE Rev. 2 codes Agriculture, forestry and fishing 01-03 Industry including energy 05-39 Construction 41-43 Typology used Trade, hotels and restaurants, transport and in Graph 3 45-61 communication Financial, real estate, renting and business activities 62-82 Other service activities 84-99 Typology used in Graph 5 Agriculture, forestry and fishing 01-03 Industry including energy 05-39 Construction 41-43 Trade 45-47 Transport and communication 49-53, 58-61 Hotels and restaurants 55-56 Financial, real estate, renting and business activities 62-82 Public administration 84 Education 85 Health 86 Other service activities 87-99 (6) http://www.statistics.gr/el/economic-activities 11

Occupation: is a set of jobs consisting of similar tasks and duties. Since 2011 the International Standard Classification of Occupations (ISCO-08 (7) ) of ILO is used. The Labour Force Survey collects information at 3-digit level for the main, the second and the previous job. in Table 2 and in Graph 5, the ISCO-08 classification is used at 1-digit level, in Graph 2, for the classification of occupation, the following typology is used: Typology of occupation categories correspondence with ISCO 08 codes Highly skilled non-manual (Legislators, senior officials and managers, Professionals, Technicians and associate professionals) Low skilled non-manual (Clerks, Service workers and shop and market sale workers) Skilled manual (Craft and related trade workers, Plant and machine operators and assemblers) Occupations in agriculture, forestry and fishing (skilled and non-skilled) Elementary occupations (non-skilled workers, except those working in primary sector) 0,1,2,3 4,5 0,7,8 6 and 92 9 except 92 Analytical description of the methodology and definitions used in the Labour Force Survey can be found on the website of ELSTAT at the link: http://www.statistics.gr/en/statistics/-/publication/sjo01/- (7) http://www.statistics.gr/el/occupation 12
