31436 The Government of St. Kitts & Nevis Statistics Division in collaboration with Organization of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS) LABOUR FORCE SURVEY - 2015 Good morning (afternoon, evening) Sir/Madam.

My name is ......................

I am an officer of the Statistics Division.

The agency is now carrying out a Labour Force Survey.

You may have been informed of it on the Radio or in the Press.

This survey is a sample survey during which we interview a number of persons in selected households.
Your household falls among those selected and I would appreciate if you could spare a few minutes to answer some questions.

I have with me my identification card if you would care to see it.

Your participation is very important because the gathered information, not nominal but organized in "indicators", will be used by both the public and private sector to better understand the situation in the country in terms of employment and skills.
Be assured that all the gathered information will remain confidential and not used for commercial purposes.

Your participation in this Labor Force Survey (LFS) will provide the Statistics Division with relevant information about the relationship between employment, income and other social and economic characteristics.
