The Labor Market Updates (LMU) is a publication of the Department of Labor and Employment Regional Offices (DOLE-Ros) which contains information derived from workforce profiles taken from the PESO Employment Information System “PEIS” (formerly known as Skills Registry System “SRS”), which is one of the major sub-systems of the PhilJobNet job portal of the Philippine government.

Under the National Skills Registration Program (NSRP), the PEIS endeavors to establish and maintain a “live registry” of skills at the Public Employment Service Offices (PESO) to facilitate referral and placement of jobseekers given the available job vacancies of establishments in the community . The PEIS comprises jobseekers’ demographic information such as age, gender, educational attainment, employment status, occupation, and geographical distribution.
