February 2023 Sakernas

The National Labor Force Survey (SAKERNAS) is a special survey to collect employment data. The collection of employment data through SAKERNAS has three main objectives. The three objectives are to find out: Employment opportunities, and their relation to education, number of working hours, type of work, employment and employment status; Unemployment and underemployment; Residents included in the non-labor force category are those who go to school, take care of the household and carry out other activities. Sakernas is a routine BPS activity that is held twice a year (semester). The first semester is held in February and the second semester is held in August.

The series of Sakrnas activities begins with training for field officers, followed by field data collection/enumeration, and ends with data processing of enumeration results. In semester 1 of 2023, BPS City of Bandar Lampung held training for sakernas field officers at the De Green Hotel on January 19-20 2023. The number of officers involved was 3 PML and 6 PCL. The number of census blocks that were targeted for enumeration was 18 census blocks. Before field data collection began, updating/updating of the contents of the census blocks was carried out where samples would later be obtained. The updating activity was carried out from January 26 to February 7 2023. After the updating was carried out, it was possible to draw a sample of 10 households for each census block, 180 sample households were obtained. Field data collection was carried out from 8 to 28 February 2022. The entire series of activities could be carried out smoothly as expected. Hopefully in the future, the output of this activity can be useful to support the determination of public policy by the government.
