You may see official representatives from the Economics and Statistics Office visiting neighbours and residents on the island over the next few weeks.
The autumn Labour Force Survey has returned. The goal of the ESO is to close the gap between guessing and facts.

Don’t run from survey interviewers, urges ESO
Trained interviewers from the Economics and Statistics Office (ESO) are knocking on doors across the islands to collect information for the Fall Labour Force Survey and Quality of Life Survey.
And statisticians from the ESO are urging respondents to partake.
“By participating in the survey, you are ensuring that your circumstances are accurately represented, and that allows effective policies to be created. So, when you see the enumerator, don’t run and hide. Please be welcoming of our enumerators,” said Terika Powell, statistician at the office.
Powell explained, “The information that the ESO collects is essential for policy development. It can be used to track how current policies are working, and it is also very useful for creating policies related to education, training and the labour force.”
Some people living in Cayman see the surveys as time-consuming and intrusive, but Powell says that taking in the survey is actually a way of making your voice heard.
