a)       Since 1990 the data on economically active population, the total employed persons and the sub-total of employed persons in urban and rural areas have been adjusted in accordance with the data obtained from the sample surveys on population changes. As a result, the sum of the data by region, by ownership or by sector is not equal to the total. The same as in the following tables.

b)      Coverage of rural employed persons in township and village enterprises was modified on 1997 by the Bureau of Township Enterprises of the Ministry of Agriculture. The figure of 1997 therefore is not comparable with figures of preceding years.
