¹ Results within a stratum are estimated by attaching to each answer of an enterprise a weight equal to its employment. For the estimation of a stratum response distribution the weights for each response alternative are summed and the distribution computed by dividing each sum with the total sum of weights. ² This table gives percentages for the new response alternatives used in the survey since 1. quarter 1996. Table 3 provides time series for linked response alternatives with the survey existing before Q1 1996.
