  MINING AND QUARRYING (Second of a Series)

  Vol. 12 No. 15

         This LABSTAT Updates is the second in the series on industry occupational employment patterns based on the results of the 2006 BLES Integrated Survey (BITS) - a nationwide sample survey covering 7,630 non-agricultural establishments with at least 20 workers. This issue features the occupational employment patterns in the mining and quarrying industry focusing specifically on employment by major occupation group; vital and hard-to-fill occupations; problems encountered on recruitment; and the views of the respondents on how to address the labor shortage problem.

Number and Total Employment of Establishments

            The mining and quarrying industry represents only a small fraction of the country’s economic sector. Its contribution to the nation’s economy in 2006 was estimated at just 1.34% of Gross Domestic Product (GDP).

Results of the 2006 BITS placed the number of mining and quarrying establishments with at least 20 workers at 80 of which the majority (58.8%) were engaged in non-metallic mining and quarrying activities and the rest (41.3%) in metallic ore mining. Their total workforce as of June 30, 2006 was estimated at 14,400.

On the overall, the mining and quarrying industry accounted for just 0.3% of the total establishments covered by the 2006 BITS and 0.5% of the total employment.
