The Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) Zamboanga del Norte successfully carried out the quarterly April 2025 Labor Force Survey (LFS). In addition to the regular quarterly LFS questions, the survey will also include the Tourism Module as a rider questionnaire. It aims to expand information gathered on tourism employment as reported to the Philippine Tourism Satellite Accounts (PTSA).

A total of six (6) Statistical Researchers (SRs) were hired for this round to carry out the survey covering twenty-six (26) sample enumeration areas across the province. Before heading to the field, the SRs underwent a comprehensive training conducted from April 2 and 4, 2025 and resumed on April 7, 2025. The enumeration started from April 10, 2025, and continued through April 30, 2025. The Provincial Focal Person (PFP) supervised operations in 11 enumeration areas on April 9 to 12, 2025.

The PSA remains firmly committed to delivering accurate and timely labor statistics, essential tools that guide policy decisions and support meaningful socio-economic planning at the provincial, regional, and national levels.
