  1. Source: The skewness is taken from INPS data on the population of workers belonging to firms in the INVIND sample. Turnover, accessions, separations, share of temporary workers, overtime hours per worker and sales from the INVIND survey. Average wage, firm size, age and sector from INPS data on the population of firms. Value added per worker from CERVED. Turnover2011, accessions2011 and separations2011 are cumulative for the years 2009–2011, turnover2013, accessions2013 and separations2013 are cumulative for the years 2009–2013. All variables in %Δ are defined with 2008 as base year
