Abstract
The Swiss Labour Force Survey (SLFS) collects information on employment and unemployment of resident persons of age 15 and more in Switzerland. In the second quarter of every year since 1991 a sample of about 16’000 persons is interviewed over the telephone. The survey is carried out by the Swiss Federal Statistical Office (SFSO). The field work is done by a market research company. This article reports on the weighting system used from 1991 to 1995.
