economy. While the average annual growth in persons<br />
employed in the <strong>EU</strong> in 1995‑2009 was 2 %, it decreased on<br />
average by 1 % in manufacturing industries. Manufacturing<br />
employment only grew in transport equipment, rubber and<br />
plastics and other manufacturing. Strongest employment<br />

A more detailed and updated picture of the evolution<br />
of labour input in manufacturing can be provided by<br />
studying sectors at the 2‑digit level. 46 Hours worked is<br />
closely correlated with the number of persons employed.<br />
In the 2009 edition of <strong>EU</strong> Industrial Structure, the data ended<br />
46 Due to the change from NACE Rev. 1 to NACE Rev. 2, Table III.5 and<br />
Table III.6 are not completely comparable with each others.<br />
growth in service industries was seen in real estate and<br />
business activities, hotels and restaurants and other services.<br />
In these sectors employment on average grew more than in<br />
the total <strong>EU</strong> economy, cf. Figure III.14.<br />
in September 2008 and the slump had not yet materialised<br />
in all manufacturing sectors. This illustrates a lag in how the<br />
crisis has affected the <strong>EU</strong> labour market. While production<br />
was hurt first, labour hoarding prevented a strong fall in<br />
employment. In a second stage, the fall in demand has hit<br />
employment in sectors. The most impacted manufacturing<br />
industries (until the last quarter of 2010) were clothing,<br />
textiles, leather and tobacco, cf. Table III.3.
