Effective from Q3 2017, the CSO is compiling Labour Market Statistics from a new Labour Force Survey (LFS). This new survey has replaced the Quarterly National Household Survey (QNHS) and will see the introduction of Computer Assisted Telephone Interviewing (CATI), a redesigned questionnaire and enhancements to the survey methodology. As a consequence, the results for the LFS Q3 2017 have been rescheduled from their planned publication on November 21st2017 until the 16th January 2018. These results will incorporate the revision of population estimates arising from the 2016 Census of Population along with a back-cast series of the existing data for the QNHS to ensure comparability of the headline indicators.
