Timeliness and punctuality

Timeliness and time lag - final results

The statistics are published quarterly in the publication News from Statistics Denmark. The publication takes place no later than, by the end of the subsequent quarter.

For the private sector: When a new quarter is published, data are revised one rolling year back in time. The reason is delays in reporting data from workplaces as well as continued error-checking of reported survey data. The number of job vacancies typically declines by between 0.5 and 2.0 percent, while the job vacancy rate is most often stable. The job vacancy rate has never declined by more than 0.1 percentage points before the data obtain final status.

For the public sector: Data are revised every quarter, as the most updated data source from SBR is used for workplace information, including the number of occupied posts.

Punctuality

Efforts are made to ensure that the statistics are published without any delay in relation to the time of publication announced in advance. Until now, all deadlines are met.
