The new source makes it possible to calculate the number of staff of institutions on the basis of individual contract data, whereas the aggregate staff of the same institutions, historically present in the BRCs, remained transiently present in DSN. The integration of individual data into the statistical processing chain of employees, which has been carried out gradually since 2016, was finalised in June 2021 on the occasion of the publication of the results for the first quarter of 2021\. The workforce data are now 100 % of the exploitation of the individual data of the DSN (see [Acoss Stat 325](https://www.urssaf.org/home/observatoire-economique/publications/acoss-stat/2021/acoss-stat-n325.html)).
