Stats Bureau in labour force survey

The Bureau of Statistics has  restarted the Guyana Labour Force Survey (GLFS), a quarterly household survey which provides insights into the country’s labour market, including employment, unemployment and underemployment. 

A release yesterday from the Bureau said that this sample survey is conducted in all regions of Guyana, among persons 15 years old and over, regardless of employment status. Areas covered in the survey include household composition and demographic characteristics, internal migration, education, vocational and professional training, job search and availability to work, income from main job/business and hours of work.
