EMPLOYMENT SURVEY OF MANUFACTURING ESTABLISHMENTS *****
THE CENSUS AND STATISTICS DEPARTMENT TODAY REMINDED
MANAGEMENTS OF MANUFACTURING ESTABLISHMENTS WHICH HAVE NOT COMPLETED THE IR EMPLOYMENT RETURNS FOR THE THIRD QUARTER OF THIS YEAR TO DO SO AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
A SPOKESMAN FOR THE DEPARTMENT SAID ABOUT 11,500 REMINDERS HAVE BEEN ISSUED TO THOSE ESTABLISHMENTS SELECTED FOR THE SURVEY AND WHICH HAVE NOT YET RETURNED THE SURVEY CARDS.
MANUFACTURING EMPLOYMENT SURVEY CARDS WERE MAILED TO ABOUT 18,700 MANUFACTURING ESTABLISHMENTS SELECTED FROM A TOTAL OF 40,000.
MANAGEMENTS WERE REQUESTED TO COMPLETE THE CARDS WITH THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE EMPLOYED AND EXISTING VACANCIES AS AT SEPTEMBER 15, AND TO RETURN THEM TO THE CENSUS AND STATISTICS DEPARTMENT BY EARLY THIS MONTH.
THE SPOKESMAN SAID: +INFORMATION OBTAINED FROM THE SURVEY WILL PROVIDE ESSENTIAL DATA FOR ANALYSING EMPLOYMENT LEVELS AND TRENDS IN VARIOUS MANUFACTURING INDUSTRIES.
+PROMPT REPORTING FROM MANAGEMENTS WILL AVOID FURTHER FOLLOW-UPS AND FACILITATE THE EARLY RELEASE OF SURVEY RESULTS.+
MEANWHILE, THE DEPARTMENT IS ALSO CONDUCTING AN EMPLOYMENT SURVEY ON THE IMPORT/EXPORT, WHOLESALE AND RETAIL TRADES, RESTAURANTS AND HOTELS.
THE SPOKESMAN APPEALED TO MANAGEMENTS OF THE SELECTED ESTABLISHMENTS FOR THE IR CO-OPERATION IN THE SURVEY.
HE STRESSED THAT INFORMATION SUPPLIED BY INDIVIDUAL ESTABLISHMENTS WOULD BE TREATED IN STRICT CONFIDENCE AND WOULD BE USED SOLELY FOR COMPILING STATISTICAL TABLES.
