Dataset properties:

• Survey: Quarterly Survey of Employment and Vacancies
• Classification: HSIC 2.0, the local adaptation of UN ISIC Rev. 4
• Measurements:
• Unitary count of employees (#)
• Unitary count of vacancies (#)
• Adjustment: Not seasonally adjusted (NSA)
• Geo coverage: Country
• Native frequency: Quarterly
• Start date: 2000Q1

The series reside in the historical catalog (Hong Kong » Labour and Wages » Employment by industry | Vacancies by industry) and include, for example:

• LWQEMTTTUQ.IHKG = Labor: Persons engaged - All industry sections [private non-agricultural] - Both sexes, (#, NSA)
• LWQVCEDTUQ.IHKG = Labor: Vacancies - Education [P] - Both sexes, (#, NSA)

For employment we have created seasonally adjusted supplements, for example:

• LWQEMMQTAQ.IHKG = Persons engaged - Mining and quarrying [B], (#, SA)

Because catalog locations are subject to change, the upper-right search box on DataBuffet.com provides a "find in catalog" mode that accepts a mnemonic.

Please be aware that

What this source calls "persons engaged" is the all-inclusive "employment", not the more specific "employees".
