The Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) Iloilo conducts Third Level Training for 100 Hired 
Statistical Researchers on 2024 Labor Force Survey (LFS) and its rider, Second Visit 2023 
Family Income and Expenditure Survey (FIES) in Punta Villa Resort Inc, Sto. Niño Sur, 
Arevalo, Iloilo City. 

The LFS is a nationwide survey of households  conducted by PSA to gather data on the  demographic and socio-economic characteristics of the population. Data from the survey provides
information on major labor market trends such as  labor force participation and unemployment rates,  hours worked, past industries and occupations of the  currently unemployed persons. Meanwhile, FIES is the main source of data on family income and expenditure in the Philippines that provides basic source of information for the estimation of the household account in the System of National Accounts and balances, measurement of the Human Development Index (HDI), measurement of poverty, and measurement levels of living of different sections of the population and disparities in levels of living across geographical regions and socio-economic groups and for inter temporal comparisons of these 
levels and disparities.

The third level training starts on January 3, 2023 and will end on January 9, 2023. The hired 
Statistical Researchers will be assigned in different municipalities/cities in Iloilo (including Iloilo 
City) and will start on January 10, 2024.
