There are important differences across countries in the extent to which the birth and death of employer enterprises affect the creation and destruction of jobs in the economy. In all countries however, the level of employment churning is quite stable over the years covered, and consistently higher in services than in the manufacturing sector; only in the Slovak Republic are significant variations of the level of employment churning observed. As expected, employment creation was generally lower in 2009 and 2010 compared to 2006.
