Data on the registered number of employees in industry also exclude agency workers, who have contracts of employment within activities of services (CZ-NACE 78.2).

As a result of organizational changes that took place as at 1 May 2015 in major enterprises dealing with crude oil refinery processing, it is impossible to publish data on CZ-NACE 19 because confidentiality of individual data has to be kept.
