The Fall Labour Force Survey (LFS) and Quality of Life Survey (QLS) conducted by the Economics and Statistics Office (ESO) will begin on Sunday, 27^th September 2026.

The LFS seeks to collect data on employed and unemployed persons in the Cayman Islands, as well as those who are not in the labour force. The QLS seeks to gather information on life satisfaction, sense of well-being, financial and physical security, economic outlook, social inclusion, sense of belonging to the local community, and perceived health.

Trained interviewers with ESO ID cards will administer the survey to approximately 2,000 randomly selected households.

The ESO thanks households that have already participated in previous surveys and seeks support for the upcoming Fall 2026 survey.

The data collected is kept in the strictest confidence as mandated by the Statistics Act (2016 Revision). Individual data will not be published or used outside the ESO and is exempt from Freedom of Information requests.
