Statistics Workers' Day in Ukraine
December 5 · Level 2 · #1876 of 2238
Statistics Workers' Day in Ukraine honours the people who collect and analyse figures on the population, the economy and society. Governments, businesses and researchers rely on their numbers to make informed decisions.
How it is celebrated: colleagues exchange congratulations at statistical offices, the best employees receive awards, and meetings turn into talks about past projects and ways to make data more accurate and easier to read. A joke that statisticians have everything counted is practically guaranteed.
Ukraine's only census since independence took place in 2001, and it began on 5 December, the same date as this professional day.
