Following up #47 , we note that not all observations in some survey rounds are classified under the month to which the round corresponds. For example, hypothetically if the observations in round in April 2010 were tabulated by the month variable

tab [month_variable], missing

We see something like this:

Month Percent
January 0.1 %
April 98.9 %
July 1.0 %

Thus, we have to determine if the non-corresponding observations are reallocated to other rounds or if they are nevertheless included in the survey round in which they appear. (Example, do the "July" and "January" observations get counted in the April found?)

Check that the number of observations per round indicated by the appropriate survey month reasonably corresponds with the total the PSA publishes.

update: the good news is that there's only one round for all years that this issue appears in: April 2017. Since there's no documentation (ISHB, publications with sample sizes, etc) until I can find additional information, I will just assume temporarily that all observations in April data are for the April round.

@buscandoaverroes the estimates for April 2017 are online - and in are there for all years.

Comparing the estimate of the whole dataset with the reported numbers (see below) shows that the number of employed people by region is the same estimate published by PSA, thus giving us sufficient reason to proceed with assuming all results are from April.

This has been resolved in the code, month has been recoded to ensure that it reads April for all observations in this round
