The above statistics for selected major sectors in March 1995 were derived from the Quarterly Survey of Employment and Vacancies and the Quarterly Employment Survey of Construction Sites conducted by the Department.
In the former survey, some economic activities (e.g. those where self- employment are predominant, such as taxi operators, hawkers and freelance authors) are not covered and hence the respective employment and vacancies figures relate only to those selected industries included in the survey.
Detailed breakdowns of the above statistics are available from the Quarterly Report of Employment, Vacancies and Payroll Statistics, March 1995 and the Quarterly Report of Employment and Vacancies at Construction Sites, March 1995. They will be available at $44 per copy and $20 per copy respectively at the Government Publications Centre, Queensway Government Offices, low block, Ground Floor, 66 Queensway, Hong Kong and at the Publications Section of the Census and Statistics Department on the 19th floor, Wanchai Tower, 12 Harbour Road, Wan Chai, Hong Kong.
