Employed

1991:
Data on persons in paid employment were collected with the monthly survey RAD-1. Data for the Republic of Slovenia are based on full coverage of all organisations, communities and enterprises (except private). All employees in organisations, communities and enterprises or their units are taken into account, irrespective of whether their employment is permanent or temporary, full-time or part-time. Employees of the Ministry of the Interior and its organisations are not included. Also not included are employees in Slovenian units abroad and foreign citizens employed in Slovenia. Data on job seekers and their inclusion in the labour market were transmitted by the Employment Service of Slovenia. Unemployed are workers that have lost their jobs and persons who have not yet been employed and have registered at regional units of the Employment Service of Slovenia.
1992:
Data on persons in paid employment were collected with the monthly survey ZAP-M. Data are based on the coverage of all enterprises and other organisations. In view of the large number of private enterprises and a relatively low share of active enterprises, the forms were sent only to those private enterprises that had at least three persons employed. All employees in organisations, communities and enterprises or their units are taken into account, irrespective of whether their employment is permanent or temporary, full-time or part-time. Employees of the Ministry of the Interior and its organisations are not included. Also not included are employees in Slovenian units abroad and foreign citizens employed in Slovenia. Data on job seekers and their inclusion in the labour market were transmitted by the Employment Service of Slovenia. Unemployed are workers that have lost their jobs and persons who have not yet been employed and have registered at regional units of the Employment Service of Slovenia.
1993:
Data on persons in paid employment in enterprises and organisations in the Republic of Slovenia are collected with the monthly survey ZAP-M. Persons in employment with work visas are also included. Data are based on the coverage of all enterprises and other organisations. In view of the large number of private enterprises and a relatively low share of active enterprises, the forms were sent only to those private enterprises that had at least three persons employed. All employees in enterprises and other organisations or their units are taken into account, irrespective of whether their employment is permanent or temporary, full-time or part-time. Persons in employment in units of Slovenian enterprises abroad are not included. Data on persons employed by private undertakings and self-employed persons are transmitted monthly by the Institute of Public Health. Due to technical problems in some periods the Institute of Public Health delayed the transmission of data on the number of persons employed by private undertakings and self-employed persons. The Institute of Public Health collects the data on the number of farmers only twice a year.
1994:
Data on persons in paid employment in enterprises and organisations in the Republic of Slovenia are collected with the monthly survey ZAP-M. Persons in employment with work visas are also included. Data are based on the coverage of all enterprises and other organisations. As regards private enterprises, the ZAP-M survey covers only those that had at least three persons employed. All employees in enterprises and other organisations or their units are taken into account, irrespective of whether their employment is permanent or temporary, full-time or part-time. Persons in employment in units of Slovenian enterprises abroad are not included. Data on persons employed by private undertakings and self-employed persons are transmitted monthly by the Institute of Public Health. Due to technical problems in some periods the Institute of Public Health delayed the transmission of data on the number of persons employed by private undertakings and self-employed persons. The Institute of Public Health collects the data on the number of farmers only twice a year.
1995:
Data on persons in paid employment in enterprises and organisations in the Republic of Slovenia are collected with the monthly survey ZAP-M. Persons in employment with work visas are also included. Data are based on the coverage of all enterprises and other organisations, except for private that according to the data of the Agency of the Republic of Slovenia for Payment Transactions, Supervision and Information had fewer than three persons employed. We estimate that at the annual level private enterprises with one or two persons employed employ around 30,000 persons in employment (December 1993).
The time of observation is the last day of the month. All employees in enterprises and other organisations or their units are taken into account, irrespective of whether their employment is permanent or temporary, full-time or part-time. Persons in employment in units of Slovenian enterprises abroad are not included.
1997:
Data on persons in employment in Slovenia are collected with the monthly survey ZAP-M, the Statistical Register of Employment and the Labour Force Survey. Persons in employment with work visas are also included.
Data on persons in employment in enterprises and other organisations are received from all enterprises and other organisations, including private with one or two persons employed that were not included before. The source of data on self-employed persons (except farmers) and persons employed by self-employed persons is the Statistical Register of Employment. The source of data on farmers is the Labour Force Survey. All employees in enterprises and other organisations or their units are taken into account, irrespective of whether their employment is permanent or temporary, full-time or part-time. Persons in employment in units of Slovenian enterprises abroad are not included.
2005:
From 1 January 2005 on the data on persons in employment are received from the Statistical Register of Employment. We used to collect the data on persons in paid employment in enterprises, companies and organisations with the Monthly Report on Earnings and Persons in Paid Employment in Enterprises, Companies and Organisations (ZAP/M). Due to the change in the data source for persons in paid employment, the number of persons in employment increased on average by 25,000. The difference is the result of units not covered by the ZAP/M. Therefore, the registered unemployment rate went down by about 0.3%. Between 2000 and 2004 the registered unemployment rates were calculated in line with the new methodology.

LFS unemployment rate

Number of tourist arrivals (in 1000)

Until 1991 the data on arrivals and overnight stays of tourists from other countries of former Yugoslavia were included among arrivals and overnight stays of domestic tourists; from 1992 on they are included among arrivals and overnight stays of foreign tourists.
A break in the time series in 2008.
For the survey on tourist arrivals and overnight stays, in 2018 we started to use two new data sources: the Register of Accommodation Establishments and the system for electronic data reporting – eTourism. Because this caused a break in the time series, we recalculated the data from 2010 on so that they are comparable.
Please note that since 2010, the series is not comparable with previously collected or published data.
