Greatings.

I am looking for internationally comparable data, if possible from a single source, giving the number of employees by ISIC sector. If possible in full-time equivalent, 1995-2020.

To my surprise, I looked into ILO and World Bank database, found a lot of data by sex, skill level, unemployment or even informality, but nothing related to the industries these jobs were located (except agriculture and services).

I must have missed someting: it looks quite a basic and important information deserving to be highlighted.

So far, my second best is to use OCDE STAN for developed countries and Groningen University data for developing countries. But the data may not be comparable.

My Google search did not return any better options.

Is there a comprehensive database you may suggest?

Thanks. Hubert

PS. By the way, I may not have looked properly at ILO data, or the data are not made available. Anyone has an idea why it is hidden (or help me finding it)?
