The study used time- series and cross-sectional quarterly data from various labor statistics covering the years 1992-2002. The findings of this study reveal that wage and salary workers respond positively to an increase in industry and services output, but react negatively to an increase in agriculture output. On the other hand, own-account workers display a positive relationship with the value-added in agriculture and services but a negative relationship with the value-added in the industry sector. Lastly, the behavior of unpaid family workers is inversely proportional to output in the industry and services sectors. Linking employment and gross value-added by industry allows us to examine the likely future structure of the economy, and assess the potential implications for planning and economic policy.enClass of workerLabor economicsLabor forceSectoral outputIndustrial organizationThesis
