Jamero 07:55 PM, Nov 17, 2023 

Hi! I would like to ask help in gathering information regarding the employment rates specifically in Cebu City. I can't find any information on these. For Philippines, I can only look into information from 2019 to 2022.

I am looking for data from 2012 to 2022 on the following employment rates (Philippines and Cebu City):

1. Labor Force Participation Rate (%)
2. Employment Rate (%)
3. Underemployment Rate (%)
4. Unemployment Rate (%)

Thank you so much for your assistance!
