The Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) Zamboanga del Norte successfully carried out the monthly March 2025 Labor Force Survey (LFS). In addition to the monthly LFS questions, the Jobs and Skills Survey (JSS), a rider survey, will also be conducted. The JSS aims to collect data on various topics, including job tasks and skills usage, employment working conditions, remote work, and adaptability to new technologies.

Three (3) Statistical Researchers (SRs) were hired for this round to carry out the survey covering six (6) sample enumeration areas across the province. Before heading to the field, the SRs underwent a comprehensive training conducted from March 4 to 7, 2025. The enumeration officially started on March 10, 2025, and continued through March 19, 2025. The Provincial Focal Person (PFP) conducted a field supervision on March 18 to 19, 2025 in four (4) enumeration areas exclusive of travel time, 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.
