Total employment in the formal non-agricultural business industries remained virtually unchanged at March 1999.
According to the March 1999 Survey of Total Employment and Earnings (STEE), a total of 4 895 686 people were employed in the formal non-agricultural business industries at the end of March 1999. This reflects a quarterly decrease of 0,04% or 2 119 employees between December 1998 and March 1999 and an annual decrease of 0,9% or 42 032 employees compared with March 1998.
Figure 2 indicates the distribution of formal employment according to industry at March 1999. The community, social and personal services industry was the largest contributor (31,9%) to total formal employment in March 1999, followed by the manufacturing industry with a contribution of 27,3%, the wholesale, retail, motor trade and hotels industry with a contribution of 17,4%, the mining and quarrying industry with a contribution of 8,2%, the construction industry with a contribution of 5,1%, the transport industry with a contribution of 5,0%, the financial industry with a contribution of 4,3% and the electricity industry with a contribution of 0,8%.
The quarterly decrease in formal non-agricultural employment from December 1998 to March 1999 was not uniform across all industries. In some industries there was a gain in employment, while in others jobs were lost. The quarterly change in employment was mainly due to quarterly decreases reflected by five of the eight industries, namely the construction industry (-2,5% or 6 407 employees), the financial industry which includes banking institutions, building societies and insurance companies (-2,1% or 4 416 employees), the transport, storage and communication industry (-1,2% or 2 910 employees), the manufacturing industry (-0,6% or 7 628 employees) and the electricity industry (-0,6% or 234 employees). These industries accounted for 42,4% of all jobs in March 1999.
These decreases were mainly counteracted by quarterly increases in the wholesale, retail, motor trade and hotels industry (+2,3% or 19 051 employees) and the mining and quarrying industry (+0,1% or 362 employees). The community, social and personal services industry, which includes laundries and dry-cleaning services remained virtually unchanged (+ 63 employees). These industries accounted for 57,6% of all jobs in March 1999.
Total gross salaries and wages paid to employees during the first quarter of 1999 reflected a quarterly decrease of 9,7% compared with the fourth quarter of 1998 and an annual increase of 6,2% compared with the first quarter of 1998.
Total salaries and wages paid to employees during the first quarter of 1999 reflected a quarterly decrease of 9,7% or R 7,037 million. This decrease was mainly due to bonuses and overtime paid at the end of December 1998 by most of the industries (except for the national departments and provinces included in the community, social and personal services industry). Total quarterly gross salaries and wages paid to employees during the quarter ended March 1999 (January to March 1999), amounted to R 65,884 million. This reflected an annual increase of 6,2% when compared with the quarter ended March 1998 (January to March 1998).

Issue Expected release date June 1999 28 September 1999 September 1999 28 December 1999 The Survey of Total Employment and Earnings (STEE) is a countrywide survey covering a sample of private and public businesses/organisations in the formal non-agricultural industries of the South African economy. The information received is used to estimate key economic statistics on employment and gross salaries and wages, mainly used as input to the gross domestic product. Prior to 1998 Stats SA conducted 17 discrete monthly or quarterly business/organisation surveys. In order to improve coverage and reliability, lessen the respondent burden and fulfil the International Monetary Fund’s (IMF) Special Data Dissemination Standards (SDDS) regarding timeliness and data quality, to which South Africa subscribes, Stats SA has overhauled and redesigned its suite of 17 Labour surveys, with the assistance of the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS). These surveys have been replaced with two new complementary country wide surveys. The Survey of Total Employment and Earnings (STEE) is a quarterly sample survey. Information is collected in March, June, September and December of each year. The survey collects and provides information on current indicators of employment and the contribution of salaries and wages to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) needed for compiling the National Accounts for South Africa and is required to meet the international reporting obligations, particularly regarding the IMF’s SDDS. The STEE was piloted in the third quarter of 1997 and is in operation as from the first quarter of 1998. This survey collects 24 data items which includes -
The Survey of Average Monthly Earnings (AME) is a quarterly sample survey and will collect information in February, May, August and November of each year. This survey will serve as a vehicle for monitoring current indicators of the South African economy. The output from this collection will be important for economists as well as policy-makers. The AME, piloted in 1998 and in operation from February 1999, will collect the following information -
Prior to 1998, the monthly Manufacturing, Construction and Electricity surveys collected and provided current indicators on employment and the contribution of wages and salaries for compiling the National Accounts of South Africa. Information on hours worked and labour turnover was also collected. Each of these surveys had 132 data items. A stratified systematic sample design was used to collect the necessary information. All large businesses/organisations were completely enumerated and systematic samples were drawn from medium and small businesses/organisations. The basis for the selection of the sample was the number of employees. Data items collected through the questionnaire included -
Information regarding Wholesale trade, Retail trade, Motor trade, Hotels, Banking Institutions, Building Societies, Insurance Companies, National Departments, Provincial Administrations, Local Governments, Universities and Technikons, Agricultural Marketing Boards, Parastatal Institutions and Public Corporations were collected through quarterly surveys. Each of these surveys collected 43 data items, except Local Governments which collected 118 data items. Wholesale trade, Retail trade, Motor trade, Hotels and Local Government surveys were sample surveys. All other quarterly surveys were completely enumerated surveys. A stratified systematic sample design was used for the selection of the samples. The basis for the selection of the sample was turnover for Wholesale trade, Retail trade and Motor trade, number of rooms for Hotels and number of employees for Local Governments. Data items collected through the questionnaire included -
According to international best practice and in order to train the relevant respondents in using the new questionnaire, validate the information received and avoid a break in the time series published in this statistical release, Stats SA decided to introduce the new questionnaire as the first step in the re-engineering process. Stats SA will in due course, as the second step, introduce the new sample. Currently Stats SA is busy re-engineering the register of businesses which serves as the sampling frame, in collaboration with the South African Revenue Service and the Departments of Trade and Industry and Labour. The process will take some time, since there are hundreds of thousands of businesses, many of them in any period changing ownership, closing, or being registered. As soon as this improvement of businesses has been implemented, Stats SA will draw a new sample. Meanwhile Stats SA is also busy benchmarking the labour series based on the latest results of various periodic sectoral economic censuses. Stats SA will endeavour to include new economic activities such as cellular telephone networks, internet service providers and satellite TV as soon as these additional sources of information become available. |
Methodological note
This statistical release contains a summary of the labour series maintained by Stats SA regarding the formal non-agricultural business industries according to major industrial divisions. It should be noted that the information regarding "other governmental institutions" differs from the information published in the March 1998 publication. Previously, only the larger public corporations were classified according to their major activity and were therefore included in the relevant industries such as electricity, transport and manufacturing. Stats SA has now also reclassified the small public corporations which were previously included under "other governmental institutions", according to their major activity. The main activity of these public corporations is largely manufacturing. The relevant time series were adjusted accordingly.
As from March 1998, Stats SA implemented a complete new data capturing, processing and analysis system for STEE, which was developed in the client server environment.
In order to check the reliability of the statistics, Stats SA did an intensive investigation regarding the employment and salary and wages information published for all the major industries from December 1997 to September 1998. From this investigation it emerged that previously there had been included a levelling factor for benchmarking purposes for the wholesale, retail and motor trade industry, which was not initially applied in the new processing system. The reason for this factor is the unavailability of a sectoral census for this industry for benchmarking purposes. Such a factor for the other industries, for which recent sectoral censuses were available for benchmarking, was not necessary. Initially the impact of not including this levelling factor for this one industry in the new processing system was cancelled by casual workers leaving this industry after the Christmas 1997 period, and by some respondents having furnished Stats SA with incorrect figures. Therefore, the exclusion of this levelling factor was not immediately evident. Following its re-insertion, the figures for March, June and September 1998 have been revised accordingly and published for the first time in the December 1998 publication.
Tables A and B indicate the differences in the total employment and salaries and wages figures for the formal non-agricultural business industries as published in the September 1998 and December 1998 publications.
