The Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) approves the conduct of the 2024 Labor Force Survey (LFS).

The 2024 LFS provides statistics on levels and trends of employment, unemployment, and underemployment of the country. This survey also provides information as basis for the formulation of policies and programs on the following:
     a. Creation and generation of gainful employment and livelihood opportunities
     b. Reduction of unemployment and underemployment
     c. Enhancement of the welfare of a working person

Major data items to be collected in the survey are as follows:
     a. Employment
     b. Unemployment
     c. Underemployment
     d. Labor force participation

A total of PhP 114.4 million will be utilized to interview about 44,000 households for the months of January, April, July, and October 2024 rounds, and around 11,000 households for February, March, May, June, August, September, November, and December 2024 rounds across the country. Preliminary results of the survey are expected to be released 35 days after data collection.

Meanwhile, results of the October 2023 LFS can be accessed at https://psa.gov.ph/statistics/labor-force-survey/latest-press-release.

The 2024 LFS was reviewed and cleared for conduct under the Statistical Survey Review and Clearance System (SSRCS), a mechanism being implemented by the PSA by virtue of Rule 28 of Implementing Rules and Regulations of Republic Act No. 10625 to:
     a. Ensure sound design for data collection
     b. Minimize the burden placed upon respondents
     c. Effect economy in statistical data collection
     d. Eliminate unnecessary duplication of statistical data collection efforts
     e. Achieve better coordination of government statistical activities

In line with this, the PSA enjoins all sample households to support and participate in the said survey by providing truthful information. Authorized PSA interviewers will visit the sample households to conduct personal interview.

For further information on SSRCS, please contact the Statistical Standards Division of the Standards Service with telephone number (02) 8376-1931, and email address ssd.staff@psa.gov.ph.
