Survey of Employment and Vacancies March 1995
The Census and Statistics Department has just started the Quarterly Survey of Employment and Vacancies to collect data on employment and vacancies in major sectors of the economy in respect of March 1995.
This survey is conducted quarterly and the survey results are useful in serving as short-term economic indicators and providing information on the latest changes in the labour market.
This round of the survey covers about 68,000 establishments which are drawn from various sectors including the industrial sector (mining and quarrying; manufacturing, electricity and gas), the distributive trades sector (wholesale, retail and import/export trades, restaurants and hotels) and the services sector (transport, storage and communication; financing, insurance, real estate and business services; community, social and personal services).
Information on the number of persons engaged and vacancies as at 31 March 1995 will be sought from each sampled establishment and questionnaires are being mailed to them.
In accordance with the Census and Statistics (Quarterly Survey of Employment & Vacancies) Order, these establishments are required to complete and return the questionnaires to the Census and Statistics Department within the specified period. If they have difficulties in completing the questionnaires, they are welcome to contact the department for assistance at 2582 5076.
