Statistical summary-annuals
In addition to Employment Bulletins, the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Employment also prepares annual statistical publications on the basis of the Employment Service Statistics. Most of the data presented in the annual statistics has been gathered throughout the year, while the annual averages are the average value of the months of the year in question.
A short description of the contents of each summary is given below. Until 2010, statistical summary -annuals are only available in Finnish. The ISSN number of the ministry’s statistical summary series is 1797-3732 (online publication).

Other statistical publications
The statistical section of the Finnish Labour Review mostly includes labour market statistics based on the data compiled by the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Employment and Statistics Finland. These statistics are presented as tables and figures, on a quarterly and annual basis. The information is based on the averages for the months included in each review period (a year or a quarter). For example, the statistics of the first quarter are the average figures for the data compiled in January through March. The titles of figures and tables are in Finnish and English.
