These statistics have a specific section with all the information available: Economically Active Population Survey (EPA).

Methodological note

The indicator measures the share of the population aged 20 to 64 which are employed. Employed persons are defined as all persons who, during a reference week, worked at least one hour for pay or profit or were temporarily absent from such work.

The data is presented by citizenship, showing the shares for citizens of the reporting country and for non-EU27 citizens.
