Employment by Major Industry, in percent

The Monthly Labor Force Survey (LFS) is a nationwide survey of households conducted by the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) to gather data on the demographic and socio-economic characteristics of the population.

With the current Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, there was an urgent need for a high frequency statistical information on the Philippine labor market to have a better understanding of the nature of the Philippine economy over the coming months brought about by the impacts of the health crisis. In response to this need and with the efforts to come up with accurate, reliable, and timely labor and employment statistics, the PSA conducted computational exercises to explore the possibility of estimating the labor and employment statistics on monthly basis using one replicate of the 2013 Master Sample (MS) which is equivalent to 10,692 secondary sampling units (SSUs). This is deemed sufficient for the estimation of the national estimates.

On 27 November 2020, the Interagency Committee on Labor and Productivity Statistics with some resource persons that are experts on labor economics discussed the results of the computational exercises and the plans for the conduct of the monthly LFS and recommended the conduct of the monthly LFS to the PSA Board.

On 21 December 2020, the PSA Board approved the PSA Board Resolution No. 8 Series of 2020, Approval of the Conduct of the Monthly LFS and Generation of Monthly Labor and Employment Statistics.

Starting February 2021, monthly LFS has been conducted in between quarterly or regular LFS to generate national level labor and employment statistics from the Survey.
