Full-time Equivalents

Full-time equivalent (FTE) employment is a way of looking at employment that takes into account the work-load of people into employment. FTE employment measures the number of people in employment for 40 hours or more per week. Two people who are employed part-time are measured as one FTE.

Using FTEs instead of employment to look at change over time can provide a more consistent comparison of labour resources used in employment over time.

This section looks at the number of FTEs in the CCRT Creative, Cultural, Recreation & Technology in New Zealand and looks at how it has grown over time.
