1 results of the "Konjunkturstatistik im Produzierenden Bereich" (short-term statistics in manufacturing); this survey is based on a sample which includes at least 90 % of the production of the selected branches (ÖNACE-2-digit-level); therefore many, esp. small firms are not included; furthermore there are distortions arising from the transformation of ÖNACE categories into the "Kammersystematik" (classification of the Economic Chambers); subsequently the data for "Industry" are only very limited comparable with the data of the previous "Industriestatistik"
