The 74 local KAUs with more than 50 employees had a turnover of NOK 18.5 billion, or 37 per cent of the division

Regional variation

The counties Oslo and Akershus represent close to 50 per cent of the division's turnover, while Aust-Agder, Finnmark and Oppland totals only NOK 1 billion.

Statistics on the enterprise level

The structural business statistics for supporting and auxiliary transport activities are compiled both on the local KAU level and on the enterprise level. On the enterprise level total turnover was NOK 50.2 billion in 2002, while the total number of persons employed were 21 835.

Figures on the enterprise level will usually deviate somewhat from figures compiled on the local KAU level. This is due to the fact that enterprises are registered in the industry subclass that comprises the main part of the activity of the enterprise, and therefore may be registered in a different industry than some of the local KAUs within the enterprise. For more information about these and other definitions used in the structural business statistics for supporting and auxiliary transport activities, see "About the statistics".
