The National Labor Force Survey (Sakernas) is a survey conducted by the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) specifically designed to collect employment data.

Information collection regarding employment concepts based on the 13th International Conference of Labor Statisticians (ICLS) and ICLS-19 began at Sakernas February 2016. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Sakernas August 2020 to February 2022, information regarding employment concepts from ICLS- 19 not collected.
