New employment survey makes three improvements

By Pali Lehohla

This article was originally published in the Business Report on 07 July 2005

Statistics SA continues to improve the quality of its statistics. The quarterly employment
statistics (QES) survey was published for the first time on June 28. This survey replaces
the quarterly survey of employment and earnings (SEE), which in turn replaced the
survey of total employment and earnings (STEE).

There are important differences between these surveys, all aimed at improving the
quality of the information. First, the STEE was drawn from the initial business address
register, which was not based on the comprehensive taxation database that the current
surveys are based on. It reported formal employment in the non-agricultural sector of
4.7 million people.

Second, the recently introduced QES covers all employing enterprises in the formal non-
agricultural business sector registered for income tax, whereas the SEE was restricted
to enterprises registered for VAT, with an annual turnover of R300 000 or more.

The increase in the coverage of businesses in the QES results in extensive coverage of
the formal labour market, as most small businesses are now included in the estimates
as well.

For the quarter to December 2004, the SEE reported employment of 6.559 million
people, compared with the estimate of 7.075 million in the QES.

Third, the definition of employees has been brought in line with International Labour
Organisation (ILO) definitions and concepts. Previously, the SEE included working
proprietors and own account workers in the estimates of employment, in addition to the
employees of an enterprise. This did not allow for the meaningful calculation of
estimates for average monthly earnings of employees.

However, the QES restricts the coverage to employing businesses only, therefore
excluding working proprietors in the estimates. It is therefore now possible to provide
estimates for employment and earnings as well, as the survey is in accordance with ILO
definitions and recommendations.

The SEE and the QES are not comparable because of these improvements. The
estimates for employment for the quarter to December, published on June 28 in the
QES, show a difference of about 500 000 employees. This was largely due to the
extended coverage of the QES survey, made possible by improvements to the business
frame that I reported on in earlier articles.

The drop in employment in the first quarter was largely caused by seasonal factors, with
many people being employed for the December period only. The published results do
not take this seasonality into account as it is not possible to develop seasonally adjusted
estimates for a series that has only been published for two periods.

Learner POE; Module 7 38


Module 7- Mathematical Literacy

As the series progresses and more results become available, it will become possible to
get a clear insight into the labour market by using the QES survey estimates.

Furthermore, the major contributors to differences in employment levels between the


QES for December and the SEE for December are the financial intermediation,
insurance, real estate and business services industry, up about 40 percent; the
construction industry, up about 30 percent; and the transport, communication and
storage industry, up about 50 percent. These increases are mainly due to the QES
survey's coverage of small businesses in these industries. The SEE did not cover many
of these small businesses.

Information regarding employers, employees and the self-employed can be obtained


from the six-monthly labour force survey, conducted among 30 000 households
countrywide. The results of this survey should be read in conjunction with those of the
QES, as they all inform on the dynamics in the labour market.

Over time, by using register-based frames, Stats SA has continued to provide a more
representative picture of the economic and the population dynamics of the country.

The underlying purpose of statistics is to inform users and policy, and statistics should
not be misconstrued to suit specific situations. Extreme caution should be exercised
when commenting on a time series that has only two data points and the differences
between relevant series should be kept in mind at all times.

5. A survey attempted to evaluate student interest about a range of classroom topics. Students
were asked to rank their interest in various potential topics according to this scale:

10 if they felt a topic was very interesting


6 if they felt a topic was above average interest
4 if they felt a topic was below average interest
1 if they felt a topic was not worth studying in class

Please note that only four responses were permitted: 10, 6, 4, and 1. Is this an acceptable
survey design? Explain your answer:
