The turnover includes the amounts invoiced by the company for the provision of services and sale of goods. Employed personnel include both paid and unpaid personnel.
To obtain it, a continuous survey is carried out that investigates more than 27,000 companies that operate in this sector every month. The results are presented in the form of indices with the aim of measuring variations with respect to the base year 2021.
