ANNEX II Precision targets (a) For the topic ‘job vacancies’ Member States that use sampling methods shall aim to keep the coefficient of variation below 5 % for the number of vacant posts (unadjusted) measured during the reference quarter for all resident enterprises or resident local units with one employee or more belonging to the total of all NACE sections in the scope of the topic ‘job vacancies’, as defined in Article 6(2) of Regulation 2025/941. Member States that use sampling methods shall aim to keep the coefficient of variation below 1% for the number of occupied posts (unadjusted) measured during the reference quarter for all resident enterprises or resident local units with one employee or more belonging to the total of all NACE sections in the scope of the topic ‘job vacancies’, as defined in Article 6(2) of Regulation 2025/941. Data transmitted under this Regulation shall be flagged as ‘low reliability’ if their coefficient of variation is higher than 25 %. (b) For the topic ‘labour cost index’ Member States that use sampling methods shall aim to keep the standard error below 0,2 percentage points for the wages and salaries component of the labour cost index, unchained, not calendar or seasonally adjusted, covering all resident enterprises or resident local units with one or more employees belonging to the total of all NACE sections in the scope of the topic ‘labour cost index’, as defined in Article 6(2) of Regulation 2025/941. The standard error should be calculated using theoretical formulas or simulations. It estimates the expected distance between the statistical estimate and the actual value to be measured. (c) For the topic ‘gender pay gap’ For the years that coincide with a reference year of the topic ‘structure of earnings’, Member States shall aim to keep the absolute difference between (1) the value derived from the data of the topic ‘structure of earnings’ and (2) the gender pay gap transmitted for the whole economy (before revision) below 2 percentage points.
