Notes: (1) Figures refer to September of the year.
(2) Data are based on the Survey of Employment, Vacancies and Payroll conducted by the Census and Statistics Department.
(3) This appendix does not cover activities of the following industries:
(1) Agriculture, hunting, forestry and fishing.
(ii) Construction (persons other than manual worker at sites).
(iii) Hawkers and retail pitches (other than market stalls).
(iv) Taxis, public light buses, marine cargo handling services and tow boats.
(v) Veterinary services, religious organizations, authors and other independent artists, domestic servants and miscellaneous recreational
and personal services.
(4) As from March 1991, the Hong Kong Standard Industrial Classification (HSIC) is adopted for the classification of economic activities in place of International Standard Industrial Classification (ISIC). Figures from March 1991 onwards are therefore available only in HSIC and are not strictly comparable to those in the past series which are in ISIC.
(5) Comparing with Chapters 7 and 8, the textiles industry in this Appendix includes 'knit outerwear and underwear, however, the textiles industry quoted in Chapters 7 and 8 does not cover the 'knit outerwear and underwear' as they have been included in the 'clothing industry'.
