Special Notes
The newspapers used for the survey were Sunday Observer and Silumina. (Weekend Papers)

The newspaper advertisements were carefully analyzed avoiding the repetition of choosing the same advertisement.

The advertisements, in which the number of vacancies were not mentioned have been considered as one vacancy. Therefore the number of vacancies counted for all occupations may be less than the actual number of vacancies.

The bulletin is issued Bi-Anually.

The accuracy of the secondary data depends on primary sources.

Since all the government vacancies are not regularly published in the newspapers, the vacancies recorded under the government sector category does not reflect the actual demand.
