QUARTERLY EMPLOYMENT ENQUIRY
Quarterly employment estimates for sectors other than
agriculture are based on the Quarterly Employment Enquiry which
is a postal survey. Prior to December 1992 the survey covered
mainly larger employers and the tendency was to underestimate
gains in employment and to overestimate losses of employment
amongst smaller firm. From December 1992, the survey has been
extended to cover smaller firms and the sample size has been
chosen in order that estimates of total employment should be
accurate to within +/- 1% of the Census total in future years.
Includes estimates of numbers of full-time and part-time
employees by Industrial Division and Class.
