QUARTERLY SURVEY BY LABOUR DEPARTMENT
Of Employment And Vacancies In Industry
One of the Labour Department's regular surveys of employment
and vacancies in industry now in progress is in respect of the first
quarter of this year.
Printed employment return cards were sent on March 10, to the
management of all registered and recorded industrial establishments
with a request that they accurately provide the information sought as
at March 15, and return the sard to the Labour Department on or before
March 20. The cards are printed in Chinese and English.
From the information provided by these surveys, the numbers of
persons employed and of vacancies in each of the main industries in
Hong Kong are calculated. The resulting statistics provide information
about trends in employment over the years, both in particular industries
and in general.
It is hoped that all managements which have received these
cards will ensure that they are fully and accurately completed, and promptly
returned in the reply-paid envelopes provided.
The co-operation of managements in responding to the last survey
resulted in complete coverage for all industrial establishments employing
over 200 people while for those employing 50 to 200 people, the response
rate was 98%. However, the overall response rate was 64%.
