The importance of this survey is quite clear since it provides
decision and policy makers as well as researchers and other data
users with certain valuable information. The survey estimates the
size of manpower, employment and unemployment measurements,
identifying characteristics of labour force in terms of age, sex,
nationality, employment status, educational status, economic
activity and sectoral distribution of employed in addition to
measurements of average monthly wage and average work hours in
accordance with internationally adopted concepts and
recommendations.
Beside the analytical summary, which comprises main tables that
highlights the survey results, the Statistics Authority will produce
a detailed bulletin shortly, including a detailed presentation for
the objectives, description and implementation processes of the
survey in addition to a review of concepts and classifications
adopted. The detailed bulletin will, also include some technical
notes related to the sample design, estimation procedures, accuracy
of estimates, variance estimation and measurements of the standard
error. There will be a particular section giving an in depth
analysis for the survey results.
