Total deployed OFWs per occupation per country from 1970s-present

Requested from CFO by A. Miel at 04:19 PM on Jun 14, 2023.
Purpose: College research (senior thesis)
Date of Coverage: 01/01/1974 - 12/31/2022
Tracking no: #CFO-076388953970

Miel 04:19 PM, Jun 14, 2023 

Good day! I would like to request a .csv or excel file containing statistics on the total number of OFWs that were deployed abroad from the earliest available year to the most recent. In particular I need the statistics on the number of deployed OFWs per occupation, per country in the world, per year.

The available stats on the DMW website are in a pdf form with data from 1990-2010, and it only tracks new hires. I would like info on the total number of OFWs deployed abroad per year and in a wider time range. 

This is for research for my college senior thesis. Maraming salamat po!
