Refers to Singapore residents and nonresidents. Data from 2003 to 2007 were revised in February 2008.
Refers to persons aged 15 years and over. Figures are based on the midyear Labour Force Survey except for 1990, 1995, 2000, and 2005
where data are from the General Household Survey and Population Census. To facilitate comparison with 2008, the 2007 Labour Force
Survey data have been adjusted based on the Singapore Department of Statistics's revised population estimates (released in February 2008),
