4.5 Heterogeneity of job quality by sectors: Some early results

Little data is available about the heterogeneity of job quality by economic activity. We have
mainly distinguished industry, services and public administration and defence. Only wages are
available broken down by activity for both the EU15 and the NMS. We have temporary
employment rates and part-time rates only for the EU15 countries.
