Then handed over the paper forms from the various governorates to the survey department of CAPMAS starting from the second week of the field work. This stage is followed by the two stages of purifying errors to assess the accuracy and logicality of the data first-hand and coding in parallel with the stage of data collection in the successive weeks.

Sampling
Design and withdrawal of the survey sample
The sample for the Labor Force Survey is a two-stage, self-weighted, stratified cluster sample.
First, the sample size:
The sample size for each quarter amounted to 22,626 households with a total of 90,504 households annually, distributed by 45.4% for urban, 54.6% for rural, distributed in proportion to the size at the governorate level (urban/rural). The sample is divided into:
a. A New household sample size of 11,340 households per quarter.
B. A sample of 11,286 households for each quarter selected from the corresponding quarter in 2017.
Second: Cluster size:
The cluster size was 18 households.
Third: Inspection stages:
1- The first stage of inspection:
A- Initial sampling unit:
The 2006 population census provides sufficient data at the level of the enumeration area, and the list of electronic enumeration areas represented the framework of the first stage of sampling (EAS), meaning that the corresponding number of households in the enumeration area was taken as a measure of size, and the size of the enumeration area reached about 200 households in The average, as there were some differences in the sizes of the enumeration areas, and the number of EAS units that were selected in the first stage of the main sample was 5024 enumeration areas.
B- Allocating the sample between governorates:
The governorate is considered the basic primary layer, which is divided into (urban and rural) as sub-layers, and the proportional allocation between the governorates, as well as between urban and rural, was determined in each governorate in the first phase of sampling.

Labor force survey history in Egypt return to year 1957, where first periodic survey conducted in November in this year, then the implementation of the survey continued after that in sequential quarterly periodic, semi periodic, and annual so far.
2- In October 2006 started the implementation of labor force survey has developed through focusing on two fundamental points which is:
A- The importance of benefiting from the sequential samples methods which applied currently when we design the survey sample in the data analysis, in order to identify the dynamic changes effects on labor market.
B- Developing the used form in the survey by adding number of exploring questions, that helps in accurate determination of the work status of every individual in a household (if he works, unemployed, out of labor force ….etc.) before completing the data related to the work characteristics or the unemployed characteristics or modifying number of existed questions or reordering it in a more logical method.
