Swiss Labour Force Survey (SLFS)

Welcome to our Web pages. (www.slfs.bfs.admin.ch)

Conducted for the first time in 1991, the Swiss Labour Force Survey (SLFS) is sent out to individuals every year. The main purpose of the SLFS is to provide information on the structure of the labour force and employment behaviour patterns. Strict adherence to international definitions allows Swiss data to be compared with OECD and EU data. Since 2010, the SLFS is conducted on a continuous basis.
