Eurostat/”Which sector is the main employer in the EU Member States?”/24 Οκτωβρίου,2017

In 2016, almost half of employment in the European Union (EU) was concentrated in two economic activities: “Wholesale and retail trade, transport, accommodation and food services” (24.7%) and “Public administration, defence, education, human health and social work activities” (23.7%). Both activities have seen their respective share in total employment increase slightly over the last 20 years. In contrast, the share of industry in EU employment fell from 20.7% in 1996 to 15.3% in 2016, while the share of “Professional, scientific and technical activities” in employment rose from 7.6% to 12.7%.
