This chart lists all the various functions for classifying public employment data, arranged by the groups used for their publication. Most functions that apply to finance statistics are used also for employment (see Chapter Four for descriptions). Other functions apply only to employment data: these are delimited by an "Y" in Column D (and no function code); see this chapter for descriptions. Finally, some employment functions are consolidations of regular functions
