Title
Occupational Wages Survey 1997

Study Type
Enterprise/Establishment Survey
Series Information
From 1989 to 1995, the OWS was conducted by the Bureau of Labor and Employment Statistics (BLES) to monitor the wage rates of 22 low paid occupations in 21 non-agricultural industries. Its objective was to generate wage estimates in aid to minimum wage determination.

In order to improve the retrieval rate, field operations were contracted out by the Bureau to the National Statistics Office beginning 1994. In 1996, however, no survey operations were conducted as its survey design was then being reviewed.

Recent developments towards globalization like the approval of the GATTWTO and the creation of the BIMP-EAGA however, pressed the need for employment and wage estimates that would address the emerging concerns of planners and policy makers. The BLES has, therefore, decided to redesign the OWS to focus on the wage rates of selected or key occupations, particularly in industries likely to be affected by the changing local and global economic structure. Thus, in 1997 the OWS was redesigned to yield more precise wage estimates for an expanded set of occupations in each industry. The new design is based on the 1992 Philippine Standard Occupational Classification (PSOC) and the 1994 Philippine Standard Industrial Classification (PSIC).

The revised OWS is an establishment-based survey. It is a complete enumeration of establishments with an average total employment of 50 or more persons in selected non-agricultural industries in the private sector.

The new series covers 52 non-agricultural industries under the 1994 PSIC from which data on total employment, distribution of time-rated workers on full-time basis, unionism and collective bargaining agreements shall be drawn.
