New Data: Vietnam subnational - Employment share by industry - SA
Thursday, 20 Jun 2019 13:18 ET
By Katie Cristofano
Summary
May 2019 -- For employment share by industry for areas in Vietnam, Moody's Analytics now computes seasonally adjusted counterparts (27 new quarterly series from 2009).
Detail

Motivation: Our national source, the General Statistics Office of Vietnam, reports employment share by industry for nine select areas, but only in not seasonally adjusted (NSA) terms.

Response: For analytical consistency we have created seasonally adjusted counterparts to the reported areas.

Properties 

  • Classification: A*3 aggregates over VSIC 2007, based on UN ISIC Rev. 4 and ACIC
  • Measurement: Percent of total employment (%)
  • Adjustment: Seasonally adjusted (SA)
  • Geo coverage:
    • 1 country
    • 2 group-of-macroregions
    • 4 provinces
    • 2 metro areas
  • Do all concept-geo pairs exist: Yes
  • Native frequency: Quarterly
  • Start date: 2009Q3, 2012Q4, or 2015Q1

Supplemental series of this kind are marked with a secondary citation of "Moody's Analytics Adjusted". Expect our SA series to be revised with each update. 

The series reside in the historical catalog (Vietnam » Labor and wages » Report on Labor Force Survey » Active » Seasonally adjusted by Moody's Analytics) and include, for example: 

  • LW%EMPRITAQ.IVNM      = Labor force survey: Percentage distribution of employment - Agriculture; forestry; fishery - Both sexes, (%, SA)
  • LW%EMSECTAQ.IVNM_CH   = Industry and construction - for Central Highlands [province]
  • LW%EMTERTAQ.IVNM_NMMA = Services - for Northern Midlands and Mountain Areas [group of macroregions]

Method

  1. For "agriculture" and "industry" adjust reported shares individually, using the U.S. Census Bureau's X-13 ARIMA program.
  2. Compute "services" share as an identity, i.e., (100% - agriculture - industry).
