Employers refer to persons who employ at least one paid employee in their business or trade. 4. Data for 1995, 2000 and 2005 are not available as the Comprehensive Labour Force Survey was not conducted in these years due to the conduct of the Census and General Household Survey by the Singapore Department of Statistics. 5. June 2007 data have been adjusted based on latest revised population estimates from DOS to facilitate comparisons with June 2008 onwards.
