The Q1 2026 Labour Force Survey was conducted in February 2026, covering 3,016 households across 20 dzongkhags. Of these, 2,974 households successfully participated, resulting in a high response rate of 98.6 percent. The indicators are produced at the domain level due to the relatively small sample size, which can lead to high sampling variability and large standard errors at more disaggregated levels, thereby reducing the statistical reliability and precision of the estimates. The survey adheres to the labour force concepts and standards set by the International Labour Organization (ILO), ensuring that the results are comparable at the international level.
