The Labour Force Surveys of Statistics
South Africa give a new picture
of employment based on interviews
with households in all regions of
the country. They provide the best
estimates of unemployment and are
able also to estimate the size and

This is a new statistical series
and care should be taken before
drawing conclusions from comparisions
with other data and with earlier
surveys.
