Source: National Statistics Office. Labor force statistics are published at a semi annual frequency. Data for 2010 and 2011 are staff estimates because there was no labor force survey conducted those years. For 2020, the authorities published data for the second semester, but not for the first semester because of COVID-19. For 2022, the authorities published data for the second semester, but not for the first semester because they were conducting the census.
Latest actual data: 2023
Notes: There is a break in the series in 2020, when the Statistical Institute of Belize tightened the criteria for inclusion in the labor force. The new series could not calculated for previous years, thus the labor force indicators up to 2019 reflect the old methodology, while those from 2020 onwards reflect the new methodology.
