than 20%. As to HUCs, 15 cities have CVs lower than 10%, 17 with CVs between
10% and 20% and one (1) city with CV greater than 20%. For
underemployment, 96.3 percent of the provinces and 69.7 percent of the HUCs
with CVs below 10%. For visibly underemployment, 59 of the 81 provinces and
10 of the 33 HUCs have CVs lower than 10%. For labor force, 74 out of 81
provinces and 25 of the 33 HUCs have registered with CVs lower than 10%. A
similar observation was noticed for not in the labor force. For population 15
years old and over, less OCW, 80 of the 81 provinces and all HUCs have CVs
below or equal to 10%. The boxplots in Figure 1, show the CVs of provincial
LFS indicators (Levels). For all indicators, the CVs ranges from 0.21% to 68.97%.
More than 75% of the provincial employment, underemployment, total labor
force, not in the labor force level estimates are reliable while almost all of the
provincial total population 15 years old and over less OCW level estimates are
reliable.

Table 2 presents the number of provinces, HUCs by LFS Indicators (Rates)
and CVs using simple averaging method. For employment rate (ER) or the
proportion of the total employed persons to the total labor force is 82.7
percent of the provinces have noticed reliable CVs but in the case of HUCs
only 39.4 have CVs less than or equal to 10%. Almost 50.0 percent of the
provinces in the country and only 24.2 percent of the HUCs have CVs lower
than or equal to 10% for the proportion of total unemployed persons to the
