What the QES employment numbers mean
from Die ekonomie minuut · host Waldo Krugell
Yesterday, Statistics South Africa announced the results of the Quarterly Employment Survey. It is different from the labor force survey and the focus is on employment in the formal sector. According to this, employment decreased from the first to the second quarter of the year. There were 22,000 new jobs created, but 141,000 jobs were lost. The survey also provides information on compensation. This shows that the average salary before deductions is R24 500 per month. It rose by just over 4% year-on-year in May. This is not good news, but what does it mean for us? * The Economics Minute is supported by the NWU Business School
