Sampling
The enterprise is the unit of enumeration in the LTS and it has for its sampling domain the eighteen (18) major industry groups (1-digit) based on the 2009 PSIC. The survey covered business enterprises located in the National Capital Region (NCR) to provide a quick and timely assessment of the labor market activity through a sample survey with manageable sample size given the limited budget. NCR accounts for one-third of the country's gross domestic product and about two-thirds of the total large business enterprises in the Philippines.
The sampling frame for the 2017 LTS is an integrated list from enterprises culled from the 2016 List of Establishment in the NCR prepared by the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) in coordination with Service and Industry Census Division (SICD) the updated sampling frames of LTS 2014 and LTS 2015. This comprises 14,619 business firms/enterprises with an employment size of at least 20. This list was obtained and updated prior to the conduct of LTS for the first quarter of 2017. The updated frame was used in the sample size determination and sample selection for the first quarter survey round. The same sample size was retained in all quarters of the year.
After each survey round, all enterprises that responded are automatically considered as samples for the next survey rounds. To fill up the lack in the computed sample size, samples will be drawn by industry from the updated sampling frame. In cases where there are no enterprises to sample in some industries, the total number of samples needed for these industries will be allocated proportionally to other industries with available samples.
The sample enterprises in each domain were drawn through simple random sampling.
