CLAP Entreprises : Local knowledge on company production - 2006
Statistical concepts and definitions
The local productive system:
- characteristics of enterprises and establishments (number, size: sectory of activity) and wages paid;
- jobs offered by enterprises and establishments: number of jobs, socio-professional category, gender, type of employment (including: apprentices, subsidised contracts, interns);
- salaried employment measured in terms of "jobs" on 31 December of the year in question. Salaried employment is also evaluated in terms of full-time equivalent over the year.
Self-employed workers (craftsmen, the professions, etc.) are not counted.
The Clap data are available at a very detailed geographic level (region, department, canton or town, municipality) and for a wide range of zones (employment zone, etc.).
Statistical population
The data in Clap about any year concern enterprises and establishments that have had at least one day of economic activity in the financial year considered, whether they are employers or not.
Clap covers all activities in the market and non-market economy except the Ministry of Defence, and domestic employment (employment where the employer is a household).

Clap is an information system that is fed from various sources.
1. The statistical directory required for the compilation of business statistics (SIRUS).
2. Data on salaried employment is produced by aligning information from four sources:
- annual Declarations of social data (DADS) ;
- summary contributions forms from URSSAF (Organisation for the payment of social security and family benefit contributions) which make up the "Epure" information system;
- the information system on civil servants;
- data from the agricultural mutual benefit social fund (MSA) which complements URSSAF data for sectors of activity associated with agriculture (starting with data for the 2007 financial year).
Data on pay that appears in Clap are the total sum of gross wages for employees in an establishment. Pay corresponds to employee salaries and bonuses in the course of the financial year.
The classification used for the data in Clap until the 2007 financial year is the NAF rev.1.
After the 2008 year of reference, the aggregation levels associated specifically with NAF rev. 2 will be used. The Clap information source is used for economic analysis according to workplace location.
Clap is by no means a substitute for the employment estimates that are produced by INSEE; CLAP assesses employment according to job numbers, while INSEE's estimates assess employment according to the number of people occupied at the workplace.
