Labor force comprises people ages 15 and older who supply labor for the production of goods and services during a specified period. It includes people who are currently employed and people who are unemployed but seeking work as well as first-time job-seekers. Not everyone who works is included, however. Unpaid workers, family workers, and students are often omitted, and some countries do not count members of the armed forces. Labor force size tends to vary during the year as seasonal workers enter and leave.

Employment data comprise all persons in employment i.e. employees and the self-employed. However, it excludes men who are serving their two-year full-time national service liability in the Singapore Armed Forces, Police and Civil Defence Forces.

In Singapore, employment statistics are compiled from two major sources:

(1) Administrative records, where 

• local employee data are compiled from the Central Provident Fund (CPF) Board’s administrative records,  
• data on foreigners working in Singapore are compiled from administrative records of foreigners on valid work passes issued by the Ministry of Manpower, and  
• self-employed data are estimated from the Labour Force Survey.

(2) Comprehensive Labour Force Survey (LFS)

Industrial classification: SSIC, which is revised every five years.
