  • 109.2 was the 2025 hours-worked index, barely above 109.1 a year earlier, indicating employment growth outpaced gains in total hours worked.
  • 19 August 2026 marked the release of the revised 2024-2025 figures, compiled under the NACE Rev.2 industry classification within Eurostat’s national accounts data.
  • 2015 remains the base year for both measures, and the update adds industry-level detail that helps track broader labour-market trends across the EU27.
