The Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) Zamboanga del Norte successfully carried out the May 2025 monthly Labor Force Survey (LFS). In addition to the monthly LFS questions, the survey will also include the Volunteer Work Module as a rider questionnaire. It aims to generate reliable data on volunteerism within the labor force, highlighting its potential economic impact and serving as a basis for crafting policies that promote civic engagement, boost volunteer participation, and support innovative volunteering platforms.

Three (3) Statistical Researchers (SRs) were hired for this round to carry out the survey covering six (6) sample enumeration areas across the province. Prior to the field enumeration, the SRs underwent a comprehensive training conducted on May 3, 2025, resumed on May 5 to May 7, 2025. The enumeration officially started on May 8, 2025. The provincial Focal Person (PFP) conducted a field supervision on May 20 to 21, 2025 in four (4) enumeration, ensuring data quality and field support.

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.
