Revised Labour Force Survey (LFS) data for the period from 1987 to 2022 are now available. The purpose of this revision is threefold:
• To align LFS data with the most recent version of the National Occupational Classification, as is done every five years;
• To introduce enhancements to the rules and parameters used in the editing and imputation of LFS data to take full advantage of data processing and information technology systems changes made in 2019; and
• To fine-tune the parameters used in the seasonal adjustment of LFS estimates, as is done every year.
