Statistics on the enterprise level

The structural business statistics for land transport are compiled both on the local KAU level and on the enterprise level. On the enterprise level turnover increased by one per cent to NOK 46.2 billion for the land transport industry division as a whole, while employment decreased by 1 764 persons compared with 2002.

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.
