Furthermore, web interview (CAWI) has been introduced as a new data collection method. The two factors created breaks in the time series. The breaks are corrected on the main series., Read more about accuracy and reliability, Timeliness and punctuality, The Labour Force Survey is published 1.5 months after the end of a reference period and usually without delay in relation to the scheduled date., Read more about timeliness and punctuality, Comparability, The Labor Force Survey (LFS) has been conducted since 1994 and tables can be found at StatBank Denmark from 1996 onwards.
