Large growth in employment in freight transport by road

Freight transport by road was the largest industry subclass with total operating income of NOK 40 billion; 12.8 per cent more than the year before. The operating result of NOK 4 billion was an increase of NOK 500 million from the year before. There were 10 228 KAUs in this subclass in 2007; 418 more than the year before. The 30 373 employment positions in 2007 has increased by 2 052 from 2006.

Better operating result for motor bus transport

The 303 KAUs in this industry had total operating income of NOK 10 billion in 2007, and the operating result was NOK 530 million. This gives an operating margin of 5.3 per cent, compared with 3.6 per cent in 2006.

Railways and trams

Operating income in transport via railways grew by 5.9 per cent to NOK 6.2 billion in 2007, and total employment was 4 060 persons. Tramways and suburban transport saw small changes; operating income was NOK 1.4 billion in 2007 compared with NOK 1.3 billion the year before.

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, total operating income was NOK 67.3 billion in 2007; 12.5 per cent more than in 2006. The total number of persons employed was 68 530. This is a growth of 4 174 employment positions from 2004 to 2007.

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. Figures on the enterprise level will usually deviate from figures on the local KAU level. This is due to the fact that the 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.

Revision of industries

In 2007 and 2008, the enterprises in Statistics Norway’s Central Register of Establishments and Enterprises were coded in accordance with the new Standard Industrial Classification (SN2007). This has revealed some incorrectly classified enterprises and local KAUs. In such cases, the code according to the current standard (SN2002) has been revised. The new Standard Industrial Classification (SN2007) will be used for the first time in the publishing of preliminary figures for the statistical year of 2008, in October 2009.
