FOREWORD
The provision of accurate, reliable, and timely information vital to strategic

and effective analytical program evaluation and responsive sound policy decisions has
always been the fundamental goal of the Bureau of Labor and Employment Statistics.
The Yearbook of Labor Statistics (YLS), now on its 29th edition, is a regular
annually updated publication which puts together twenty-one (21) chapters of
statistical data series on labor force, employment, and unemployment which are
mostly disaggregated by major socio-demographic characteristics such as age, region,
and major industry and occupation groups. Also presented are the administrative-
based statistics reflecting the operational outputs of the various functional entities of
the Department of Labor and Employment, specifically on local and overseas job
facilitation, workers protection and welfare, wages and productivity, labor standards,
and labor relations. Likewise, results of the BLES surveys on establishments are
included in this issue. The last chapter on Explanatory Notes provides additional
information about the data including the source agency and the various concepts and
definitions used to help the reader/data user better understand and correctly interpret
the various data sets contained herein.
Some minor changes were incorporated in this years edition of YLS. Except
for some historical tables, most of the statistical series starts from 2006. The chapter
on Philippine Labor Index, while still being monitored by the BLES, will no longer be
shown in this edition. As in the 2009 issue, the latest data on labor force statistics will
only contain the average of that years four survey rounds in accordance to the
National Statistical Coordination Board (NSCB) Resolution No. 9 series of 2009.
The YLS is harmonized with the Bureaus other analytical compendium such
as the quarterly Current Labor Statistics (CLS) wherein the latest preliminary data on
labor and employment are reflected. This Yearbook, likewise, forms part of the
BLES 4-in-1 CD publication together with the Philippine Industry Yearbook of Labor
Statistics, Gender Statistics on Labor and Employment, and LABSTAT Updates,
which is available upon request.
Most of the elements of relevance, accuracy, interpretability, accessibility and

coherence dimensions under Data Quality Assessment System (DQAS) have been
ensured/applied in this publication so that our users are provided with quality data.
This YLS is accessible and downloadable from the BLES website at
www.bles.dole.gov.ph.
We are encouraging our readers/data users to provide us with feedback as to

the usability, contents and appearance of the publication to enable us to further
improve it as well as ensure its relevance to our users. You may forward your

a 2005 average cannot be computed due to the adoption of the new unemployment definition starting April 2005 round of the LFS, per NSCB
Resolution No. 15 dated October 20, 2004. The revision affects the composition of the labor force which is the base for the computation of
the employment rate. Hence, data for employment rate starting April 2005 onwards are not comparable with prior survey rounds/averages.

Notes: 1. Data are averages of the four (4) survey rounds of the Labor Force Survey based on rounded figures, except for 2005 when average
cannot be computed due to the adoption of the new unemployment definition starting April 2005 round as per NSCB Resolution
No. 15 dated October 20, 2004. The new definition includes the availability criterion which previously, only those without jobs and
looking for work were considered unemployed. Hence, data starting 2005 onwards are not comparable with prior survey rounds/averages.

May 17, 2002 wherein Region IV was divided into Region IV-A as CALABARZON and Region IV-B as MIMAROPA,
while Aurora province was transferred to Region III.
2 Starting with the April 2002 round of the LFS, the NSO adopted the regional groupings under E.O. No. 36 signed on September 19, 2001.
This EO provided for the reorganization of the Administrative Regions in Mindanao, hence, Regions IX (Western Mindanao)
XI (Southern Mindanao) and XII (Central Mindanao) were renamed Zamboanga Peninsula, Davao Region and SOCCSKSARGEN, respectively.
Meanwhile, Region X retained its name as Northern Mindanao. To provide regional comparison for January 2002, regrouping was done

Notes: 1. Labor Productivity is measured as the ratio of the Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP) of the industry to corresponding employment.
2. Estimates of GRDP were based on the July 2010 GRDP of the National Statistical Coordination Board (NSCB)
which used the revised regional groupings per Executive Order (E.O.) 36 and 103.
3. Employment data used were averages of the four (4) survey rounds of the Labor Force Survey (LFS) of the National Statistics Office (NSO).
It was based on the population projections based on the 2000 Census of Population per NSCB Resolution No.1 series of 2005.
4. While the LFS adopts the 1994 Philippine Standard Industrial Classification (PSIC), industry groupings were regrouped to 1977 PSIC
for comparability with GRDP data.

Notes: 1. No data available for CAR prior to 1988 as it was formally organized in late 1987. For ARMM and Caraga, data were only
available starting 1993 and 1995, respectively. Meanwhile, Regions IV-A and IV-B data were only available starting 2001.
2. Starting 2002, regional groupings in Mindanao were in accordance with the provision of E.O. No. 36 signed on September 19, 2001
which likewise renamed Region IX (Western Mindanao), Region XI (Southern Mindanao) and Region XII (Central Mindanao) as
Zamboanga Peninsula, Davao Region and SOCCSKSARGEN, respectively. Region X retained its name as Northern Mindanao.

Note: Data are not truly reflective of the actual country source of remittance or country of deployment of OFWs due to the common
practice of remittance centers in various cities abroad to course remittances through correspondent banks mostly located
in the U.S.A. Since banks attribute the origin of funds to the most immediate source, U.S.A. therefore appears to be the main
source of OFW remittances.
1 Includes Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
2 Total amount of remittances of overseas Filipino workers from countries not elsewhere specified, thus, totals for the regions
may be understated as there may be countries covered which are lumped under "Others".

Explanatory Notes
CENSUS OF POPULATION AND HOUSING (CPH)
Agency Responsible National Statistics Office (NSO)

Frequency Every 5 Years
Disaggregation Geographic Area: National/Regional/

Provincial/City/Municipality
Availability From 1903

Dissemination One year after the reference year
Definition of Terms
Population total number of individuals in a territory at a specified time. It covers both

nationals and aliens, native and foreign born persons, internees, refugees
and any other group physically present within the borders of a country at a
specified time. In assembling national demographic statistics for publication,
the basic aim has been to obtain data for the physically present (or de facto)
population rather than for the legally established resident (or de jure)
inhabitants.
Household a social unit consisting of a person living alone or a group of persons who
sleep in the same housing unit and have a common arrangement in the
preparation and consumption of food.
The following were counted and enumerated as members of the household:
1. persons whose usual place of residence is the place where the
household lives and who are present at the time of visit of the
enumerator, except those born after 12:01 a.m., of the reference period
of the census.
2. family members who are overseas and who are away at the time of the
census are considered members of the household.
3. persons whose usual place of residence is the place where the
household lives but are temporarily away at the time of the census for
any of the following reasons:
on vacation, business/pleasure trip or training somewhere in the
Philippines and are expected to be back within six (6) months from
time of departure;
on vacation, business/pleasure trip or study/training abroad and are
expected to be back within a year from time of departure;
working or attending school in some other place but comes at least
once a week;
confined in hospitals for a period of not more than six (6) months at
the time of enumeration except when they are confined as inmates
in mental hospitals, leprosaria or leper colonies, drug rehabilitation
centers, etc;
detained in national/provincial/city/municipal jails or in military camps
for a period of not more than six (6) months at the time of
enumeration;
Household (cont) training with the Armed Forces of the Philippines if training is not
more than six (6) months;
on board coastal, inter-island or fishing vessels within Philippine
territories; or
on board ocean-going vessels but are expected to come home.
4. boarders/lodgers of the household or employees of household-operated
businesses who do not usually go to their respective homes weekly.
5. citizens of foreign countries, excluding members of diplomatic missions
and non-Filipino members of international organizations, but including
Filipino Balikbayans who have resided or are expected to reside in the
Philippines for more than a year from his arrival.
6. persons temporarily staying with the household who have no usual place
of residence or who are not certain to be enumerated elsewhere.
Household Population the population enumerated in private households during a census or survey.
Institutional Population the population enumerated during a census living in large institutions such as
national prisons and penal colonies, provincial and large city jail, tuberculosis
sanitaria, mental hospitals, leprosaria, military, mining and logging camps,
etc. The cut-off is more than 6-months.
Intercensal Growth Rate the rate of growth of population between two censal period. It is estimated
using the following formula:
P 1 = P 0 (1 + r t)
where P 1 = population as of the latest census

P 0 = population of the previous census
t = number of years in between census years
r = intercensal growth rate
LABOR FORCE SURVEY (LFS)

Objective of the Survey To monitor the changes in the employment status of persons in the working age
population (employed, unemployed and not in the labor force) during a
specified time period.
Reporting Unit Household (Statistics emanating from this survey refer to the characteristics of
the population residing in private households as provided by any
knowledgeable and responsible member of the sample family. Persons who
reside in the institutions are not within the scope of the survey).
Reference Period and Coverage Past week
Concepts and Measurements Based on international standards and guidelines prescribed by the International
Labor Office (ILO)
Resolution No.1 Statistics Concerning the Economically Active Population,
Employment, Underemployment and Unemployment.
Adopted during the 13th International Conference of Labour Statisticians (ICLS),
1982, Geneva, Switzerland.
Frequency of Data Collection Four times a year (January, April, July and October)
Disaggregation Geographic Area: National/Regional

Industry: Major Industry group for regional data; minor industry group for national
data
Occupation: Major occupation group for national data
Employment in industry are also available by sex and class of worker
Sampling Design Starting July 2003, the NSO used the sampling design of the 2003 Master
Sample for household surveys with a 3-stage stratification on geographic and
socio-economic stratification of Primary Sampling Units (PSUs) in all regions.
Total sample is divided into 4 independent replicates to facilitate the selection of
sub-samples. There are 2,835 sample PSUs with 51,390 sample households.
Also, starting 2003, urban-rural data are no longer available because of the
revision in survey design.
Availability From 1956, although frequency is variable
Release Schedule Press release 45 Days after the reference month (Preliminary) at NSO Website:
www.census.gov.ph Six (6) months after reference period (Final).
Other Information The changes in reference period, coverage and population projection benchmark
resulted to break in the data series.

Definition of Terms
Household a social unit consisting of a person living alone or a group of persons who
sleep in the same housing unit and have a common arrangement in the
preparation and consumption of food.
A person who lives alone is considered a separate household; and so is a
person who rents bedspace but makes arrangements for his food. However,
a group of persons who share and take their meals together but live in
separate but adjacent living quarters for convenience is considered one
household.
Past Week the past seven (7) days preceding the date of visit of the enumerator or
interviewer of the Labor Force Survey. Referred to as reference week.
Working Age Population population 15 years old and over at a specified time. The working age
population is divided into persons in the labor force and not in the labor force.
Work any activity that a person does during the reference period for pay in cash or in
kind, in any establishment, office, farm or private home or for profit or without
pay on a family farm or enterprise.
Labor Force all persons 15 years old and over as of their last birthday who are either
employed or unemployed
Not in the Labor Force all persons 15 years old and over as of their last birthday who are neither
employed nor unemployed. (e.g. housewives, students, disabled, retired
persons, and seasonal workers).
Labor Force Participation Rate the percentage of the total number of persons in the labor force to the total
population 15 years old and over.
536
Employed all persons aged 15 years old and over as of their last birthday and during the
basic survey reference period are reported as either:
1. At work even for an hour;
2. With a job/business but not at work. Those who have a job or business but
are not at work because of temporary illness/injury; vacation, or other
reasons. Likewise, persons who expect to report for work or to start
operation of a farm or business enterprise within two weeks from the date
of the enumerators visit are considered employed.
Employment Rate the percentage of the total number of employed persons to the total number of
persons in the labor force.
Working Children those below 18 years of age, who are employed in any public or private
establishment whether or not they are directly under the responsibility of their
parents.
the proportion of working children 5-17 years old to household population of the
Economic Activity Rate
same age group.
the proportion of working children aged 5-17 years old who are in school to
School Attendance Rate
total working children of the same age group.
Class of Worker the relationship of the worker to the establishment where he/she works. This is
sometimes referred to as industrial status or status in employment in other
countries. He/she may either be wage and salary worker, self-employed
worker, employer, or unpaid family worker.
1. Wage and Salary Worker
a. Working for private household for pay, in cash or in kind.
b. Working for private establishment for pay, in cash or in kind. This class
includes not only persons working for private industry but also those
working for religious group (priests, acolytes), missionaries (nuns,
sisters, etc.), unions, and non-profit organizations.
c. Working on own family-operated farm or business and receives cash
or a fixed share of the produce as payment for his/her services.
d. Working for government/government corporation or any of its
instrumentalities.
2. Self-employed without any employee - a person working for profit or fees
in own business, farm, profession or trade without any paid employee.
This includes a worker who works purely on commission basis and who
may not have regular working hours.
3. Employer in own farm or business - a person working in his/her own
business, farm, profession or trade has one or more regular paid
employees, including paid family members.
A domestic helper, family driver or other household helpers who assist in
the family-operated business regardless of time spent in this activity, is
not a hired employee in the enterprise/business; hence a farm or business
proprietor assisted purely by such domestic help is not considered an
employer. A retail store operator who is wholly assisted in the operation
of his store by unpaid relatives living with him and who employs
carpenters to construct a new building for his store (with store operator
supervising the work) is not an employer. However, if an operator
happens to be the owner or partner of a big firm which has its own
construction unit to take care of its needs, the operator is an employer.
4. Unpaid Family Worker - one who works without pay on own family
operated farm or business by another member living in the same
household. The room and board and any cash allowance given as
incentives are not counted as compensation for these family workers.
Industry the nature or character of the business or enterprise, or the place wherein a
person works.
Occupation the specific kind of work a person does. If a person has a job but is not at
work, it is the kind of work he will be doing when he reports for work, or will be
doing if he is waiting for a new job to begin within two weeks from the date of
the interview.
Underemployed employed persons who desire to have additional hours of work in their present
job or in an additional job, or to have a new job with longer working hours.
Underemployment Rate the percentage of the total number of underemployed persons to the total
number of employed persons.
Underemployed, Invisibly employed persons who worked for 40 hours or more during the basic survey
reference period and still want additional hours of work in their present job or
an additional job, or to have a new job with longer working hours
Underemployed, Visibly employed persons who worked for less than 40 hours during the basic survey
reference period and still want additional hours of work in their present job or
an additional job, or to have a new job with longer working hours.
Visibly Underemployment Rate the percentage of the total number of visibly underemployed persons to the
total number of employed persons.
Average Weekly Hours Worked the average weekly hours actually worked by the employed persons at work in
all the job/s/business/es that they held during the reference week. It includes
the duration or the period the person was occupied in his work, including
overtime, but exclude hours paid but not worked. For wage and salary earners,
it includes time worked without compensation in connection with their
occupations, such as the time a teacher spends at home preparing for the
forthcoming lectures. For own account workers, it includes the time spent in
the shop, business or office, even if no sale or transaction has taken place.
Unemployed all persons who are 15 years old and over as of their last birthday and are
reported as:
(1) without work, i.e., had no job or business during the basic survey reference
period; and
(2) currently available for work, i.e., were available and willing to take up work in

BLES INTEGRATED SURVEY (BITS)
Agency Responsible Bureau of Labor and Employment Statistics (BLES)

Objectives of the Survey To generate an integrated data set on employment of specific groups of
workers, occupational shortages and surpluses, safety and health
practices, occupational injuries and diseases, and labor cost of
employees.
Main Topics Covered by the Main topics covered by the survey are total employment by category of
Survey workers; employment of specific groups of employees; agency hired
workers, outsourcing/contracted-out activities; occupational shortages
and surpluses, recruitment practices, safety and health practices;
occupational injuries and diseases; structure of labor cost. These data
are inputs to studies on industry trends and practices and serve as bases
for the formulation of policies on employment, conditions of work and
industrial relations. To some extent, the survey results will also be used
to assess the progress of decent work in the country.
Reference Period The reference periods for the 2007/2008 BITS are as follows:

Persons: All employed persons.
Concepts and Definitions

Establishment an economic unit engaged in one or predominantly one kind of economic
activity under a single ownership or control at a single fixed location, e.g.
mine, factory, store, bank, restaurant. For multi-unit enterprises with
different outlets and subsidiaries or whose activities are located at
different locations, each branch, outlet or subsidiary is considered an
establishment. For firms engaged in activities which may be physically
dispersed such as mining, construction, real estate development,
transportation, communication, insurance, etc., the establishment is the
base from which personnel operate to carry out their activities or from
which they are paid.
Main Economic Activity activity that contributes the biggest or major portion of the gross income
or revenues of the establishment, e.g., metallic ore mining, food
manufacturing, retail trade, education.
Major Product/ Goods or specific product/goods produced or service provided by the
Service establishment, e.g., gold, ice cream, electricity, residential buildings,
automotive parts, fastfood, shipping, universal banking, security
agencies, private tertiary education, private hospital or motion picture
production.
Union any registered group or association of employees that exists in whole or
in part for the purpose of collective bargaining or of dealing with
employers concerning terms and conditions of employment.
Collective Bargaining the negotiated contract between a legitimate labor organization and the
Agreement (CBA) employer concerning wages, hours of work, and all other terms and
conditions of employment in a bargaining unit, including mandatory
provisions for grievance and arbitration machinery.
Global Production Network a production scheme where stages of manufacturing process are
(GPN) undertaken in different geographic locations/countries where they can be
carried out most efficiently.
Business Process the delegation to an organization/establishment contracted to take
Outsourcing (BPO) primary responsibility of providing a business process or function.

Occupational Injury an injury which results from a work-related event or a single

instantaneous exposure in the work environment (occupational accident).
Where more than one person is injured in a single accident, each case of
occupational injury is counted separately. If one person is injured in more
than one occupational accident during the reference period, each case of
injury to that person is counted separately. Recurrent absences due to
an injury resulting from a single occupational accident are treated as the
continuation of the same case of occupational injury and not as a new
case.
Fatal Case case where a person is fatally injured as a result of occupational accident
whether death occurs immediately after the accident or within the same
reference year as the accident.
Permanent Incapacity case where an injured person was absent from work for at least one day,
excluding the day of the accident, and 1) was never able to perform again
the normal duties of the job or position occupied at the time of the
occupational accident, or 2) will be able to perform the same job but
his/her total absence from work is expected to exceed a year starting the
day after the accident.
Temporary Incapacity case where an injured person was absent from work for at least one day,
excluding the day of the accident, and 1) was able to perform again the
normal duties of the job or position occupied at the time of the
occupational accident or 2) will be able to perform the same job but
his/her total absence from work is expected not to exceed a year starting
the day after the accident, or 3) did not return to the same job but the
reason for changing the job is not related to his/her inability to perform
the job at the time of the occupational accident.
Case Without Workdays Lost case where the injured person required only first aid or medical treatment
on the day of the accident and was able to perform again on the day after
the accident the normal duties of the job or position occupied at the time
of the occupational accident.
Workdays Lost working days (consecutive or staggered) an injured person was absent
from work, starting the day after the accident. If the person is still absent
from work by the end of the reference year, his/her days lost cover the
period from the day after the accident up to the end of the reference year.
Temporary absences from work of less than one day for medical
treatment are not included in days lost.
Occupational Disease an abnormal condition or disorder other than one resulting from an
occupational injury caused by exposure over a period of time to risk

History of the Survey Initiated in 2003, the BITS is a modular survey that integrates the data
requirements on employment, industrial relations, occupational injuries
and labor cost that used to be collected by the BLES through
independent surveys such as the Survey on Specific Groups of Workers
(SSGW), Employment, Hours and Earnings Survey (EHES), Industrial
Relations at the Workplace Survey (IRWS), Occupational Injuries Survey
(OIS) and Labor Cost Survey (LCS).
Each round of the BITS covers different aspects of employment and

establishment practices. The inquiry on occupational injuries and
diseases is a regular feature while that on labor cost is undertaken on a
less frequent basis.
The integration aims to reduce respondents burden from filling out

various BLES survey questionnaires; to optimize the use of resources;
and to improve the timeliness of information.
Available Series The new data series starts with the 2002/2003 BITS. Nevertheless, past
data are available from SSGW, EHES, IRWS, OIS and LCS.

OCCUPATIONAL WAGES SURVEY (OWS)
Agency Responsible Bureau of Labor and Employment Statistics (BLES)

Objectives of the Survey To generate statistics for wage and salary administration and for wage
determination in collective bargaining negotiations.
Main Topics Covered by the Occupational wage rates, median basic pay and median allowances of
Survey time-rate workers on full-time basis.
Reference Period Pay period that covers:
October 31 for 1997 and 1999 survey rounds
June 30 for 2002 and 2004 survey rounds
August 31 for 2006 survey round
July 31 for 2008 survey round
Periodicity (Frequency) Every 2 years.
Coverage of the Survey Geographical: The whole country
Industrial: Non-agricultural industries except national postal activities,
central banking, public administration and defense and compulsory social
security, public education services, public medical, dental and other
health services, activities of membership organizations, extra territorial
organizations and bodies. For purposes of monitoring occupational wage
rates, 46 non-agricultural industries were pre-determined out of the 65
covered by the survey.
The selection of industries for occupational wage monitoring was based

on various sources since the start of the survey in 1997. These were the
Investment Priority Plan of the Board of Investments; export winners
identified by the Department of Trade and Industry; areas of cooperation
under the BIMP-EAGA; industries likely affected by GATT; industries
monitored by the ILO industrial committees and similar bodies; and
emerging industries as in the case of Call Center Activities; Medical
Transcription and Related Outsourcing Activities; and Animated Films
and Cartoons Production.
Establishments: Non-agricultural establishments employing 20 persons

or more.
Persons: Time-rate workers on full-time basis.
Occupations: At most 11 occupations are monitored in each of the 46
selected industries to represent the seven (7) major occupational groups
in the Philippine Standard Occupational Classification (PSOC) for a total
of 180 occupations. The occupations can be classified as supervisory;
professional; technical; clerical; service; trade skills and machine
operation; and laborers/unskilled workers. More occupations were drawn
for a particular major occupation group depending on the relative
importance of the occupations in the pre-determined industry. For
instance, in mining and quarrying, selected manufacturing industries, and
construction, more occupations were taken from trade skills and machine
operation. In trade, postal and telecommunications and most business
services, more clerical occupations were selected. In health and social
work and in private education services, mostly professional workers were
drawn. In hotels and restaurants, more service occupations were
chosen.
Coverage of the Survey the selection of the occupations was based on the relative importance of the
(continued) occupations in the industry and the PSOC; consultations with employers'
and workers' groups, government agencies and the academe; Initial List of
Indicative Offers to the Coordinating Committee on Services--General
Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS ASEAN BLOC); Catalogue of the
Occupational Skills Standards for National Certification Program of the
Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA);
Occupations covered by the ILO October Inquiry on Occupational Wages
and Hours of Work; 2001-2002 Key Indicators of the Labor Market of the
International Labour Office; and Occupational Employment Survey (OES) of
the US Bureau of Labor Statistics. The 2008 occupations covered in the
2008 OWS were updated based on the findings of the 2006 BLES
Integrated Survey (BITS)-employment module on vital occupations and the
2007 National Human Resource Conference.
Wage rates of two (2) benchmark occupations, accounting and bookkeeping

clerks; and unskilled laborers except janitors, messengers and freight
handlers are monitored in all industries covered by the survey.
Concepts and Definitions

activity under a single ownership or control at a single fixed location, e.g.
mine, factory, store, bank, restaurant. For multi-unit enterprises with
different outlets and subsidiaries or whose activities are located at different
locations, each branch, outlet or subsidiary is considered an establishment.
For firms engaged in activities which may be physically dispersed such as
mining, construction, real estate development, transportation,
communication, insurance, etc., the establishment is the base from which
personnel operate to carry out their activities or from which they are paid.
Time-rate Workers on Full-time workers paid on the basis of an hour, day or month and who work at jobs
Basis with hours of work equal to or more than those considered normal or regular
to the establishment.
Wage Rates defined as including basic pay and regular/guaranteed cash allowances.
Basic Pay refers to pay for normal/regular working time before deductions
for employees' social security contributions and withholding taxes. It
excludes overtime, night shift differential and other premium pay;
commissions, tips and share of employees in service charges; and
payments in kind.
Allowances include cost of living allowance but exclude reimbursements for
travel, entertainment, meals and other expenses, etc. incurred in conducting
the business of the employer; cost of uniform/working clothes; bonuses and
gratuities; and family allowances.
History of the Survey
Scope and Coverage From 1997 to the 2004 survey rounds, the OWS was a complete
enumeration survey of non-agricultural establishments employing 50
persons or more. Starting with the 2006 OWS, employment size cut-off was
lowered to 20 persons. The 2002 OWS was limited to Metro Manila due to
budget cuts.
A total of 65 industries are covered in the 2008 OWS, up from 60 in 2006,

58 in the 2002 and 2004 rounds, 57 in 1999 and 52 in 1997 OWS. Pre-
determined industries for wage monitoring now total to 46 with the addition
of Call Center Activities and Medical Transcription and Related Outsourcing
Activities in 2006 and Animated Films and Cartoons Production in 2008.
The selected industries numbered 43 in 2002 and 2004 OWS and 41 in
1997 and 1999 rounds.
A total of 180 occupations are covered in the pre-determined industries in

the 2008 OWS round, from 169 in 2006, 168 in 2002 and 2004 rounds, 161
in 1999 and 1997. Starting with the 2002 survey round, wage rates of two
(2) benchmark occupations, accounting and bookkeeping clerks; and
unskilled laborers except janitors, messengers and freight handlers are
being monitored in all industries covered.
From 1989 to 1995, the OWS provided average monthly wage rates of 22
low-paying/prevalent occupations in 21 non-agricultural industries and
monthly median wage rates in all major non-agricultural industries. Covering
time-rate workers (in non-agricultural establishments employing at least 5
workers in 1989-1993 and those employing at least 10 workers in 1994-
1995), its purpose was to provide statistics in aid to minimum wage
determination.
In 1996, the OWS was re-designed to focus on the wage rates of relatively
skilled occupations in industries likely to be affected by the changing global
and economic structure. The survey aims to generate statistics for wage
and salary administration and for wage determination in collective
bargaining negotiations.
Every survey round, the OWS is reviewed relative to the covered industries
and occupations to enhance the relevance of the statistics produced.
Periodicity and Reference Period From 1989 to1995, the OWS was conducted every semester except for the
1990 OWS, which was undertaken quarterly. For occupational wage data,
the reference periods were the end of each calendar quarter while for the
distribution of time-rate workers, the reference periods were the end of June
and December. Except for the 1994, 1995 and 1997 survey rounds whose
data collection was undertaken by the National Statistics Office, the BLES
handled the field operations.
Periodicity and Reference Period For the 1997 and 1999 rounds, October was adopted as the reference
(continued) period of the survey for international comparability since the Bureau of
Statistics of the International Labour Office has an annual inquiry on
occupational wage rates and normal hours of work in which October is
the reference period of the data.
Although the 1997 and 1999 survey rounds of the revised OWS had
October as reference, data collection did not commence immediately
after the reference point as the fiscal year of the Philippine government
ends in December and data collection can only commence in the next
year (March/April). Experience from past surveys of the BLES showed
that data retrieval from establishments during the last months of the year
was quite low or slows down for surveys whose data collection starts late
in the year.
Another consideration in the shift of the reference period of the third

round of the OWS from October 2001 to June 2002 was the need to
capture the effects of minimum wage adjustments. A survey conducted
by the BLES revealed that a substantial proportion of establishments
based their wage adjustments on government fixed wages. In some
instances, minimum wages were being implemented on a staggered
basis. In the National Capital Region (Metro Manila) where at least half
of time-rate workers are found (based on the 1999 OWS), a Wage Order
mandated a staggered adjustment with effectivity dates in November
2001 and February 2002. The shift in the reference period improved the
timeliness of the data from 17 to 12 months after reference period.
However, for the 2006 and 2008 survey round, the reference periods
were moved to August and July respectively to take into consideration
the new series of regional wage orders that took effect in July and August
in 2006 and May and June in 2008.
The OWS is one of the designated statistical activities in Executive Order

No. 352 (s. 1996) that will generate critical data for decision making of
the government and the private sector. The data category average
monthly occupational wage rates in selected occupations is among those
listed by the Philippine government under the Special Data Dissemination
Standard (SDDS) of the International Monetary Fund. The SDDS serves
as reference to member countries in the dissemination of economic and
financial data to the public.
Available Series Due to the changes in scope and coverage through the years, users are
cautioned in making comparisons using the OWS data series and to take
note of the following:
2008: nationwide, covers non-agricultural establishments
employing 20 persons or more

2002: Metro Manila only, covers non-agricultural establishments

1994-1995: nationwide, covers non-agricultural establishments

1989-1993: nationwide, covers non-agricultural establishments

Dissemination Periodicity of Dissemination: Starting with the 2002 OWS, the survey
results are released a year after its
reference period.
Advance Release Calendar: An advance release calendar that gives
one-quarter-ahead notice of the
approximate release date is posted in the

estimate) or the ratio of Gross Value Added to industry employment (industry
estimate).
Gross Value Added total payment to factors of production namely: wages, interest, profit and rent. It
includes capital consumption allowance and indirect taxes. It is estimated by
deducting from the gross value of output the sum of non-factor costs such as raw
