AN OFFICIAL of the Philippine Statistic Authority (PSA) has urged local residents to cooperate with the ongoing labor force survey (LFS) in the city.
PSA Regional Supervising Statistical Specialist Ma. Flerida Tan explained the survey is aimed to determine the employment, unemployment and underemployment rate of the country.
She said they have employed 26 enumerators for the conduct of the LFS here in Region 9.
The total target number of households to be surveyed is 1,575. The LFS started in January 9 and ends on January 31.
The questions they would ask in the survey includes: nature of work; status of work; educational attainment; salaries; and other questions pertaining to the household-respondents.
Tan said the result of the LFS will serve as the basis of the government in the formulation of policies and programs on the generation of gainful employment and livelihood opportunities.
The LFS is being conducted every January, April, July, and October of the year by the PSA.(Bong Garcia/SunStar Philippines)
