Statistics South Africa 42 3.5 Employment in the tourism industries Tourism employment is a measure of the number of jobs in tourism and non-tourism industries. Tourism employment is the employment strictly related to the goods and services (tourismconnected and non-tourism-connected) acquired by visitors and produced either by tourism industries or other industries that cannot be directly observed 20 . South Africa does not have a direct measure of tourism employment. Therefore, employment in the tourism industries includes employment that is directly and/or indirectly related to the goods and services acquired by tourists and non-tourists. Table 16a to table 16d show employment in the tourism industries by population group for 2006 to 2009. There were 553 712 persons (or 4,1 % of total employment) directly engaged in producing goods and services purchased by tourists in 2006, 569 688 persons (or 4,2% of total employment) in 2007, 609 021 persons (or 4,4% of total employment) in 2008 and 547 934 (or 4,1% of total employment) in 2009. Tourism industry ratios have been used to allocate employment numbers (by industry) to tourism 21 . Cautionary note on employment in the tourism industries Revision of the old Labour Force Survey The first Labour Force Survey (LFS) was conducted in 2000 and since then it was undertaken on a six-monthly basis in March and September each year. Starting in 2005, Stats SA undertook a major revision of the LFS. This revision resulted in changes to the survey methodology, the survey questionnaire, the frequency of data collection and data releases and processing systems. The redesigned labour force survey is the Quarterly Labour Force Survey (QLFS) which is now the principal vehicle for collecting labour market information on a quarterly basis. The QLFS was first released in 2008. To allow for historical comparability of the old series (LFS) with the new QLFS, the old series was revised. Revising historical LFS means that the revised data for, say, September 2002 represent Stats SA’s best estimate of what QLFS would have shown had it been conducted in the third quarter of 2002. The revision was based on link factors computed on the basis of two overlap surveys which were conducted between old LFS and the new QLFS. The first overlap was between LFS March 2008 and QLFS January – March 2008 and the second overlap was between LFS September 2008 and QLFS July – September 2008. It should be noted that for the revised estimates, the cut-off age for inclusion in the working age population is now set at 15–64 years to improve international comparability.
