Changes in the release limits of the Labour Force Survey starting from the beginning of 2023

Date of change:

Statistics: Labour Force Survey

Information about the change

Starting from the beginning of 2023, estimates for under 7,000 persons are automatically hidden in monthly releases and for under 3,000 persons in quarterly releases.

Before 2023, the limit has been 2,000 persons for both monthly and quarterly releases.

The change has been made due to the increase in non-response. The small number of respondents behind the now-hidden estimates makes them unreliable.
