The establishment sampling frame for the 2020 LTS was extracted from the preliminary 2019 LE as of March 2020.
This list was a product of the 2019 Updating of List of Establishments (ULE). The updating involved complete enumeration of establishments in the barangays where "no matched" establishments (establishments listed in other sources but not in the
LE from prioritized secondary sources are located, barangays with new malls, barangays having establishments with total employment of 100 and over, and barangays with the highest number of establishments for some provinces.
Also covered using mail inquiry, were other "no matched" establishments including those located in distant barangays. Other sources of updates are the feedbacks from different establishment-based surveys, such as Annual Survey of Philippine Business and Industry (ASPBI) and LTS.
A total of 16,793 establishments in NCR with employment size of at least 20 workers extracted from the 2019 LE in the country comprised the LTS 2020 sampling frame.
